Turkey on Wednesday strongly condemned a Palestinian suicide bombing that killed three civilians in Israel's southern resort city of Eilat on Jan. 29.

Turkish Foreign Ministry offered condolence to families of victims and said that terrorism cannot be tolerated in any condition.

"It is important not to be deceived by provocations which aim to hinder the dialogue that started between Israel and Palestinian National Unity Administration," the ministry said in a statement.

On Monday morning, three people were killed by a suicide bomber in a bakery in the Red Sea resort of Eilat, one of Israel's most popular holiday spots.

Three Palestinian military groups, the Islamic Jihad, the al- Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an armed wing of Palestinian National Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement and the previously unknown "Army of Believers" claimed later responsibility for the attack.

It is the first suicide bombing on Israeli soil since last April when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a Tel Aviv old bus station, killing 11 people.
