Israel Hit by First Suicide Attack in a Year

In Dimona, Israel, one of two suicide bombers blew himself up at a shopping center on Monday. Then there was a second bomber who attempted to blow himself up, but failed his bomb failed to detonate and he was shot dead by police at the scene. The last suicide attack the country has seen occured in January of 07' it the city of Eilat, killing three Israelis. After the bombing, police officials went on high alert in various areas of the country, and near Dimona, officials were stationed at main junctions in and around the city. Not only are suicide bombers a massive threat in Israel, but so is the Israeli air force that also carried out an attack in Gaza against militants that had been responsible for rocket attacks on Israel. In my opinion, i dont think that the security of Israel defense, Shin Bet is taking the right measures in securing his people from terrorists and suicide bombers. When weapons were smuggled into Gaza, it was because at the time the border was down, leaving it ungaurded. Many weapons were smuggled at the time such as long-range missiles, anititank and antiaircaft missiles. As a result of this, the defense minister, Ehud Barak told the cabinet that there was a high urgency to build a fence along the border between Israel and Egypt. Though there are constructive plans to build a border, the lack of money is always an issue. Egyptians want the border to feel safe and secure again, but find it hard to come up with the finances for such a structure.Many civilians are so scared that they refuse to leave their homes becuase in Israel you are unaware of who is against you and who is not. I feel that the people should be protected first and foremost, and a way to do so is found to be most challenging.
