Palestinians Hail Female Bomber As Hero.

“She is not going to be the last (attacker) because the march of resistance will continue until the Islamic flag is raised, not only over the minarets of Jerusalem, but over the whole universe,” Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said. …

The bombing was carried out by Reem Raiyshi, 22, a mother with two young children. She had been escorted into a room for a security search when she blew herself up. The attack was jointly claimed by Hamas and the Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a group linked to Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement.

Thousands marched through Gaza City during her funeral. Masked gunmen from Hamas and Al Aqsa carried her coffin, draped in the Hamas green flag.

“It is not enough to call her a hero. Calling her hero does not give the whole truth. This woman abandoned her husband and children to win paradise,” Zahar said in the eulogy.
