Witnesses' accounts of the Ashdod port bombings

[Gimel]

Port worker Sami Pinto said that when he entered the port, he saw smoke from the explosions near the fence of the facility and one in a workshop inside the port. "Five bodies of our workers were lying there and two more bodies outside the fence," Pinto told Israel Army Radio on Sunday evening, after two suicide bombers blew themselves up in the port, killing ten people.

"One of our workers who was lightly wounded told me that the terrorist came in and asked for water and the moment he showed him where there was a tap he blew up," Pinto said.

Yehuda Huaron, who works in an office adjacent to where one of the blasts took place, said, "I heard a loud explosion and ran towards the scene. Three minutes later, while running, I heard another blast. I saw horror on the street, body parts ... I saw someone running to help. His dad works here, and he couldn't stop crying. He didn't know what happened to his dad. We were trying to help after the first blast, and then people were yelling that they needed our help at the site of the second explosion," Huaron said.


Rescue services spokesman Yerucham Mendola said "some of the victims were thrown a long distance" by the blasts.
