Israeli officials are reporting that a bomb blast on a Tel Aviv bus near the nation’s military headquarters has wounded at least 10 people, the Associated Press reports.
The blast came amid a weeklong Israeli offensive against Palestinian militants in Gaza that has killed more than 130 Palestinians. Militant rocket fire into Israel has killed five Israelis.
The bus exploded about noon on one of the coastal city’s busiest arteries, near the Tel Aviv museum and across from an entrance to the Kirya, Israel’s national defense headquarters.
