TERROR took a new turn in the Middle East yesterday when Palestinian scuba divers launched a daring attack on an Israeli settlement.
The Palestinians, wearing wetsuits and flippers, emerged from the Mediterranean and fired at a beachfront Israeli settlement in the Gaza Strip.
In a fierce firefight, two of the attackers were killed and a third was wounded and fled.
The Islamic militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack on the Tel Katifa settlement. Hamas has threatened to carry out attacks on Israelis to avenge the assassination of its founder, Sheik Ahmed Yassin.
In a farewell video, two attackers -- one later identified as Zakareia Abo Zoor -- posed in their wetsuits, with oxygen tanks strapped to their backs and goggles pulled above their foreheads. The video also contained footage of a training session in which two men charged toward a rocky cliff, firing assault rifles.
The settlement attack is the first of "earthshaking operations to come", a Hamas leaflet said.
