OLDSTER EXPLODES
Well, I guess it’s more exciting than bingo:
A Palestinian grandmother blew herself up in the Gaza Strip, lightly wounding three Israeli soldiers, in the first suicide attack claimed by Hamas in almost two years.
The mother of nine and grandmother of 41 became the oldest Palestinian suicide bomber at the age of 57, approaching troops operating to curb daily rocket attacks, the army said.
Her son is delighted:
“We are really happy. It’s a big operation. She told us last night that she would do a suicide operation. She prepared her clothes for that operation and we are proud.
“‘I don’t want anything, only to die a martyr.’ That’s what she said.”
