God Almighty says in the Holy Quran: Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of (the consequence of) what they have done that perhaps they will return (to righteousness). (Firman Allah Taala: Telah timbul berbagai kerosakan dan bala bencana di darat dan di laut dengan sebab apa yang telah dilakukan oleh tangan manusia; (timbulnya yang demikian) kerana Allah hendak merasakan mereka sebahagian dari balasan perbuatan-perbuatan buruk yang mereka telah lakukan, supaya mereka kembali (insaf dan bertaubat).

Israel menyalahkan kumpulan bersenjata Palestin jiran dari Gaza. Tentera Israel telah membunuh 5 yang bersenjata di sepanjang sempadan dengan Mesir, tentera berkata, dan kemudian melancarkan serangan udara di dalam Gaza yang mengorbankan 5 militan lain dari kumpulan yang sama serta kanak-kanak.
Tentera Israel berkata tiga lelaki yang mati di Gaza telah terlibat dalam merancang serangan itu. Tembakan terus di kedua-dua belah sempadan lewat ke petang. Selepas senja kala, Israel "Kubah Besi" sistem anti-peluru berpandu memintas roket yang ditembak oleh militan Gaza di bandar Ashkelon, kata tentera.
Serangan yang dahsyat terhadap Israel sejak lelaki bersenjata yang membunuh lapan orang awam di Yerusalem pada tahun 2008. Mereka mencadangkan bahawa pergolakan politik terkini Mesir dan vakum kuasa yang terhasil di Sinai telah dibenarkan militan untuk membuka depan baru terhadap Israel di perbatasan jangka tenang.
Serangan itu bermula sejurus selepas tengah hari di selatan Israel dengan tembakan di bas awam menuju ke bandar raya peranginan di Laut Merah Eilat, kini berada pada kemuncak musim pelancongan. Beberapa penumpang telah dipukul, kata tentera. Lelaki bersenjata telah melintasi sempadan dan menubuhkan satu serangan hendap di sepanjang jalur 300 meter (meter), yang bersenjatakan senjata automatik dan bom tangan, tali pinggang bom bunuh diri, menurut tentera.
"Kami mendengar ditembak dan melihat tingkap meletup. Saya tidak benar-benar memahami apa yang sedang berlaku pada mulanya," penumpang kris Kaner kepada Israel Channel 2 TV. "Selepas pukulan lain, ada huru-hara di dalam bas dan semua orang yang melompat ke atas orang lain."
Dalam masa sejam, lelaki bersenjata telah riddled lain bas yang lulus dan dua kereta dengan peluru dan rigged bom tepi jalan yang diletupkan di bawah jip tentera bergegas ke tempat kejadian. Pada masa yang sama, yang menembak mortar di Gaza melepaskan tembakan pada askar di sepanjang pagar sempadan Gaza-Israel.
TV video menunjukkan bas pertama dengan tingkap yang berkecai. Kerusi yang berlu-muran dengan darah dan barang-barang yang bersepah lorong. Mati Israel termasuk enam orang awam dan seorang askar, menurut komander selatan tentera Israel, Mejar Jeneral Tal Russo.
Askar-askar Israel akhirnya membunuh 5 penyerang, tentera berkata, dan pegawai pertahanan berkata tiga daripada badan-badan yang berwayar dengan bahan letupan. Ia tidak jelas berapa ramai militan yang terlibat atau dari mana mereka.
Pegawai-pegawai keselamatan Mesir dan Interior Kementerian berkata gunfight mele-tus di sempadan, dan tiga orang-orang Mesir telah dibunuh, seorang pegawai polis dan 2 orang askar. Pegawai-pegawai, bercakap dengan syarat tidak mahu namanya disiarkan kerana mereka tidak diberi kuasa kepada pemberita secara ringkas berkata, tembakan yang tercetus manakala Israel mengejar militan yang cuba memasukkan semula Sinai. Ia tidak jelas jika tembakan pada orang-orang Mesir yang datang dari tentera Israel atau militan. Tentera Israel mempunyai sebarang komen.
Menurut tentera Israel, semasa memadamkan sepanjang sempadan lelaki bersenjata yang cuba dan gagal untuk menembak jatuh sebuah helikopter Israel dengan peluru berpandu anti-kereta kebal. Sekatan jalan raya telah dibina di kawasan itu, pengedap jalan raya di dalam dan di Eilat, dan pegawai-pegawai keselamatan Israel kanan men-gadakan sesi tergempar di Kementerian Pertahanan di Tel Aviv.
Jam kemudian, militan yang nampaknya telah dikesan menyerang lagi, dan anggota unit polis elit memerangi keganasan telah dibunuh, kemalangan maut Israel yang ke-8, mengikut Cif Inspektor Alex Kagalsky, jurucakap polis Israel.
Israel berkata penyerang yang datang dari Gaza dan membuat jalan mereka ke Sinai jiran dan dari sana ke Israel. "Hari ini kita menyaksikan satu percubaan untuk mening-katkan keganasan dengan menyerang dari Sinai. Dan sesiapa yang difikirkan Israel akan hidup dengan itu, dia silap," kata Perdana Menteri Benjamin Netanyahu Kamis petang. "Jika organisasi pengganas fikir mereka boleh menyerang orang awam kami tanpa jawapan, mereka akan mendapati bahawa Israel akan tepat harga - harga yang sangat berat"
Setiausaha Negara Hillary Rodham Clinton Amerika Syarikat, mengutuk apa yang dipanggil "yg direncanakan terlebih dahulu keganasan terhadap orang awam yang tidak berdosa," dan berkata AS dan Israel "bersatu dalam perjuangan menentang keganasan."
Clinton menambah bahawa keganasan "hanya menekankan kebimbangan kami yang kukuh mengenai keadaan keselamatan di Semenanjung Sinai," dan menggesa kerajaan Mesir untuk mencari "penyelesaian yang berkekalan." Lewat Khamis, agensi berita rasmi Mesir berkata militan bertopeng dalam trak pikap melepaskan tembakan ke atas tem-pat pemeriksaan polis Mesir berhampiran el-Arish di utara Sinai, insiden kese-lamatan terkini di padang pasir. Tidak ada perkataan serta-merta yang terkorban.
Taher Nunu, jurucakap kerajaan Hamas, menafikan bersubahat militan', berkata Gaza "tiada kaitan dengan serangan ini." Tentera Israel berkata serangan itu telah disem-purnakan oleh kumpulan yang berkaitan Hamas yang dikenali sebagai Jawatankuasa Rintangan Popular, dan objektif mereka telah menculik orang awam atau askar. Kum-pulan yang terlibat dalam penangkapan askar Israel, Sgt. Gilad Schalit, yang telah diadakan tawanan di Gaza selama lebih daripada lima tahun.
Satu serangan udara Israel ke atas Gaza telah membunuh lima anggota kumpulan itu, termasuk komander, serta kanak-kanak berusia 3-tahun-satu militan, menurut pegawai keselamatan Hamas. Seorang jurucakap Jawatankuasa Rintangan Popular, Abu Mujahid, tidak akan mengulas mengenai bersubahat didakwa. Dia mengancam membalas dendam kerana kematian ahli-ahli kumpulan.
Walaupun ia kelihatan jelas lelaki bersenjata yang telah datang melalui wilayah Mesir, Kejadian Khaled Fouda, gabenor daerah selatan Sinai, berkata menembak tidak datang dari pihak Mesir. "Insiden itu menegaskan memegang lemah Mesir di Sinai dan meluas-kan aktiviti-aktiviti pengganas," kata Menteri Pertahanan Israel, Ehud Barak. "Punca sebenar keganasan di Gaza, dan kami akan bertindak terhadap mereka dengan kuasa penuh dan penentuan."
Gurun Sinai, dikuasai oleh puak-puak Badwi dan tidak pernah sepenuhnya di bawah kawalan kerajaan pusat, telah berkembang lebih ganas sejak pemberontakan popular menggulingkan pemerintah lama Mesir Hosni Mubarak pada bulan Februari. Sejak itu, penyerang telah berulang kali diletupkan saluran paip penting yang membawa gas asli kepada Israel dan Jordan.
Mesir bergerak beribu-ribu tentera ke kawasan minggu lalu sebagai sebahagian dari-pada operasi besar-besaran menentang militan al-Qaeda ilham yang telah semakin aktif di sana sejak penyingkiran Mubarak. Kebanyakan lalu lintas yang rutin di seluruh sempadan pergunungan yang jauh, melibatkan penyeludup Badwi mengangkut dadah dan pemohon suaka Afrika ke dalam Israel.
Terdapat penyeludupan perdagangan yang berkembang antara Sinai dan Gaza melalui terowong di bawah sempadan, dan barang-barang dan orang boleh bergerak dalam kedua-dua arah. Jika penyerang dari Gaza, mereka boleh mencapai Sinai melalui tero-wong dan kemudian melintasi sempadan Israel-Mesir, yang sebahagian besarnya unfenced, membuat jalan mereka ke arah Eilat, yang 130 batu (200 kilometer) dari Gaza

Armed Men Cross Egyptian Border, Kill 8 Israelis
August 18, 2011 - EILAT, Israel (AP) - Gunmen who crossed from the Egyptian desert launched a series of attacks Thursday in southern Israel, killing eight people and threatening to destabilize a volatile border region that includes the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip and the increasingly lawless Sinai Peninsula.
Israel blamed an armed Palestinian group from neighboring Gaza. Israeli forces killed five of the gunmen along the border with Egypt, the military said, and later launched an airstrike inside Gaza that killed five other militants from the same group as well as a child.
The Israeli military said three of the dead men in Gaza had been involved in planning the attack. Gunfire continued on both sides of the border late into the evening. After nightfall, Israel's "Iron Dome" anti-missile system intercepted a rocket fired by Gaza militants at the city of Ashkelon, the military said.
The attacks were the deadliest against Israelis since a gunman killed eight civilians in Jerusalem in 2008. They suggested that Egypt's recent political upheaval and a resulting power vacuum in Sinai had allowed militants to open a new front against Israel on the long-quiet frontier.
The attack began shortly after noon in southern Israel with gunfire at a civilian bus heading toward the Red Sea resort city of Eilat, currently at the height of the tourist season. A number of passengers were hit, the military said. The gunmen had crossed the border and set up an ambush along a 300-yard (meter) strip, armed with automatic weapons, grenades and suicide bomb belts, according to the military.
"We heard a shot and saw a window explode. I didn't really understand what was happening at first," passenger Idan Kaner told Israel's Channel 2 TV. "After another shot, there was chaos in the bus and everyone jumped on everyone else."
Within an hour, gunmen had riddled another passing bus and two cars with bullets and rigged a roadside bomb that detonated under an army jeep rushing to the scene. At the same time, mortar gunners in Gaza opened fire at soldiers along the Gaza-Israel border fence.
TV video showed the first bus with its windows shattered. Its seats were stained with blood and luggage littered the aisle. The Israeli dead included six civilians and one soldier, according to the Israeli military's southern commander, Maj. Gen. Tal Russo.
Israeli soldiers eventually killed five attackers, the military said, and defense officials said three of the bodies were wired with explosives. It was not clear how many militants were involved or where they were from.
Egyptian security and Interior Ministry officials said a gunfight erupted on the border, and three Egyptians were killed, one police officer and two soldiers. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters, said the gunfire erupted while Israelis were chasing militants who were trying to re-enter Sinai. It was not clear if the gunfire at the Egyptians came from Israeli soldiers or the militants. The Israeli military had no comment.
According to the Israeli military, during the fighting along the border the gunmen tried and failed to shoot down an Israeli helicopter with an anti-tank missile. Roadblocks were erected in the area, sealing roads in and out of Eilat, and senior Israeli security officials convened an emergency session at the Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv.
Hours later, militants who had apparently gone undetected attacked again, and a member of an elite police counter-terrorism unit was killed, the eighth Israeli fatality, according to Chief Inspector Alex Kagalsky, a spokesman for the Israel police.
Israel said the attackers had come from Gaza and made their way into neighboring Sinai and from there into Israel. "Today we all witnessed an attempt to step up terror by attacking from Sinai. If anyone thinks Israel will live with that, he is mistaken," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said late Thursday. "If the terror organizations think they can strike at our civilians without a response, they will find that Israel will exact a price — a very heavy price."
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton condemned what she called "preme-ditated acts of terrorism against innocent civilians," and said the U.S. and Israel were "united in the fight against terror."
Clinton added that the violence "only underscores our strong concerns about the security situation in the Sinai Peninsula," and urged the Egyptian government to find "a lasting solution." Late Thursday, Egypt's official news agency said masked militants in pickup trucks opened fire on an Egyptian police checkpoint near el-Arish in northern Sinai, the latest security incident in the desert. There was no immediate word of casualties.
Taher Nunu, a spokesman for the Hamas government, denied the militants' complicity, saying Gaza "has nothing to do with these attacks." The Israeli military said the attacks had been executed by a Hamas-linked group known as the Popular Resistance Committees, and that their objective had been to kidnap civilians or soldiers. The group was involved in the capture of an Israeli soldier, Sgt. Gilad Schalit, who has been held captive in Gaza for more than five years.
An Israeli airstrike on Gaza killed five members of the group, including its commander, as well as the 3-year-old child of one of the militants, according to Hamas security officials. A spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees, Abu Mujahid, would not comment on its alleged complicity. He threatened retaliation for the deaths of the group's members.
Though it seemed clear the gunmen had come through Egyptian territory, Gen. Khaled Fouda, the governor of the southern Sinai district, said no shooting had come from the Egyptian side. "The incident underscores the weak Egyptian hold on Sinai and the broadening of the activities of terrorists," said Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak. "The real source of the terror is in Gaza, and we will act against them with full force and determination."
The Sinai desert, dominated by Bedouin tribes and never entirely under the control of the central government, have grown more violent since a popular uprising toppled longtime Egyptian ruler Hosni Mubarak in February. Since then, assailants have repeatedly blown up a crucial pipeline carrying natural gas to Israel and Jordan.
Egypt moved thousands of troops into the area last week as part of a major operation against al-Qaida-inspired militants who have been increasingly active there since Mubarak's ouster. Most of the routine traffic across the remote, mountainous border involves Bedouin smugglers ferrying drugs and African asylum seekers into Israel.
There is a thriving smuggling trade between Sinai and Gaza through tunnels under the border, and goods and people can move in both directions. If the attackers were from Gaza, they could have reached Sinai through the tunnels and then crossed the Israel-Egypt border, which is largely unfenced, making their way toward Eilat, which is 130 miles (200 kilometers) from Gaza.
