A prominent leader in the armed wing of Fatah, the Al-Aqsa Brigades, has confirmed the identities of the two bombers who attacked a shopping center in the Israeli city of Dimona on Monday.

Speaking to Ma’an on Tuesday, Abu Al-Walid reiterated that the bombers were Luay Al-Ghawani and Mousa Arafat, saying that photographs of the two attackers published by the Israeli media were in fact of them.

Israeli security officials had expressed doubt about the validity of the image of the second bomber, who was shot dead by an Israeli police officer.

“Luay Al-Ghawani was the one who blew himself up, while Mousa Arafat was hit by several bullets to the head resulting in changes in his facial features, yet Al-Aqsa Brigades identified him from his body features,” Abu Al-Walid added.

Why does almost everything you hear from the palestinians sound like a really bad lie?

Meanwhile, what these “body features” are, and how the Al Aqsa Martyr’s Brigades could tell from “photographs…published by the Israeli media,” is anybody’s guess.

Update: Meanwhile, Hamas are claiming responsibility for the attack, and identified the bombers as Mohammed Herbawi and Shadi Zghayer.
