Another Palestinian mass murderer struck a little while ago, at a bus stop near the Tzrifin military base. It may have been a woman.
Two people were killed and approximately 30 were reported wounded Tuesday, 15 seriously, when a suicide bomber blew himself up just before 6 P.M. at a crowded bus stop adjacent to the Tzrifin military base in Rishon Letzion. Security officials said there were many soldiers at the bus stop.
Police evacuated bystanders from the scene of the attack, fearing additional explosive devices might have been placed at the scene of the blast.
Police cars chased a vehicle spotted fleeing the site of the bombing shortly after the attack took place.
Emergency rescue workers at the scene of the attack found the body believed to be that of the bomber. Police believe that the bomber may have been a woman.
Wounded individuals were taken to the nearby Assaf Harofeh Hospital, Ichilov Hosptial in Tel Aviv and Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer.
UPDATE: The death toll has risen to five. And there are fears that more attacks are planned for today.
Security forces raised the alert level in Jerusalem on Tuesday morning due to warnings of terror attacks. Israel Radio reported that the security forces suspected one or more terrorists may have already succeeded in infiltrating into Israel.
