Liverpool's Yossi Benayoun had a narrow escape yesterday when the southern Israeli town of Dimona was the target of a suicide attack. The 27-year-old was visiting his parents there when the bombers struck and he heard the explosions and gunfire which killed one Israeli woman and the two Palestinian bombers.
Benayoun's parents live about five minutes' walk from the site of the attack and the midfielder, who is in Israel for a friendly against Romania tomorrow, immediately made calls to confirm that none of his relatives and friends were hurt and was flooded with calls from people concerned about his wellbeing.
