A bomb blast near a bus stop outside Jerusalem’s central station killed one person and injured at least 30.
Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said Palestinians were behind the explosion, and that it was caused by a bomb placed in a bag. Interior Minister Eli Yishai linked the blast to the rising number of rocket and mortar attacks on southern Israel from the Gaza Strip and warned that “if the trend continues then, no doubt, we will have to take action.”
