Hadera bombing spin cycle

A suicide bombing in Hadera killed four Israelis and injured dozens more. Islamic Jihad said the attack was revenge for the death of Loai Assadi, a Jihad commander recently killed by the IDF. But Haaretz explains why the “tit-for-tat” and “cycle of violence” spin we expect to see in upcoming reports doesn’t apply.

Military sources, however, were quick to point out that a bomb attack of this magnitude took longer than three days to plan.
