It's not bad enough that a suicide bomber finally got through Israel's security, killing five, wounding dozens. It had to be one of those "good will" prisoner releases.
A suicide bomber blew himself up Wednesday next to a food stand in the central Israeli town of Hadera, killing five and wounding at least 30 people, five seriously. The blast left a scene of destruction at an open air market, police and rescuers said.

The suicide bomber who carried out the attack was identified as a 20-year-old resident of the town of Qabatiyeh in Samaria. The bomber's name, Hassan Abu Zeid, was announced over a bullhorn in the town, residents said. Israel Radio reported he was released about one month ago from Israeli prison, as a prisoner who did not (yet) have "blood on his hands."
There's more here.
Islamic Jihad is claiming this attack was "revenge" for the killing of terrorist Luay Sa'adi on Monday (while he was violently resisting arrest). But it's common knowledge that suicide bombings take considerably longer than two days to plan and implement. Israeli security had word that Sa'adi already had an attack in the pipeline when he was killed. Maybe this one.
