A bomb blast in Tel Aviv late on Sunday has been confirmed as a terrorist attack, Israeli police and the Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency said on Monday.

The man carrying the bomb, which exploded near a synagogue, was killed and a passerby was injured, according to police at the scene.

“It can now be confirmed that this was a terror attack,” police and Shin Bet said in a joint statement on Monday.

Sunday’s explosion came about an hour after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Tel Aviv to push for a ceasefire in Gaza that will end the 10-month-old war between Israel and Hamas.

    Israel has been killing hundreds of Palestinians civilians in refugee centers, schools and hospitals for months on the claim that a military target was inside.

    Was there any Israel military personnel in that synagogue? By Israels doctrine, any number of civilian infrastructure and casualties are justified to kill any military target.

      Just to note that actually, it’s tens of thousands by now. Even during October Israel had already killed many thousands of Palestinian civilians.

      Sure, but the Israeli government and IDF are fucking monsters. I’m not going to give a pass to one side killing civilians just because the other side is doing it, too.
