Gaza: An armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction carried out a bombing in southern Israel on Monday, a Fatah source said.
The source said the "Army of Palestine" wing of Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades carried out the attack along with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Israeli police said a Palestinian suicide bomber killed himself and at least one person in Dimona and that a second bomber was shot dead.
Abbas condemned the bombing but also levelled censure at an earlier military raid by Israel in the occupied West Bank.
