A bus was bombed on Tel Aviv's Shaul Hamelech Boulevard, near the Opera House and IDF headquarters at around midday. Reports from Magen David Adom say that 21 people were injured in the explosion, two with medium to serious injuries. The incident took place at the corner with Henrietta Szold St.

Minister of Public Security Yitzhak Aharonovich told journalists that passengers on the bus saw a man get off the bus, leaving what was probably the bomb, several stops before the blast. Police searches in Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan have failed to find the alleged terrorist.

Meanwhile in Gaza, Hamas put out a statement praising what it termed a suicide bombing.
