At least 16 people were injured, one seriously, in a bus
bombing in central Tel Aviv at the corner of of Shaul Hamelech and Henrietta
Szold streets. The blast was a terrorist attack, police said.
Bystanders were ordered to stay away from the scene of
the explosion. Police cordoned off the Azrieli Center compound nearby, but said
they did not believe there were other terror plots taking place in the area.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesperson
confirmed the bombing was a terrorist attack.
The bomb was not a suicide attack and was triggered
remotely. Another explosive that did not detonate was reportedly found on the
bombed bus.
This bombing is the first one in Tel Aviv since 2006.
Police are searching for two people involved in the
attack, contradicting previous reports of a single suspect. Eyewitnesses reported
seeing the bomber flee the scene, Israeli radio said.
A suspect was reportedly taken into police custody about
half an hour after the explosion, and was later released.
Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu Zuhri praised the bombing as
a just response to Israel’s recent attacks on Gaza, but stopped short of
claiming responsibility, Haaretz reported.

A False Flag or self-inflicted attack is what happened in Tel Aviv today… Israel is losing the war to truth and needs to inject a reason for their next massive bombing campaign on the Palestinian people…once again they will claim justification for their mass murder campaigns throughout Palestine…Someone inside should assassinate the entire political structure of Zionist Israel…Netanyahu first, then Barak, Lieberman, and the rest of the scumbags!!
