The prevailing Pessah calm was destroyed shortly after 1:30 p.m. Monday afternoon when a suicide bombing rocked Tel Aviv's Neve Sha'anan neighborhood, near the old central bus station. At least nine people were reported killed, not including the suicide bomber, and at least 60 were wounded, 15 seriously. One person was still in critical condition as a result of the large blast.

... Islamic Jihad, ...together with the Aksa Martyrs' Brigades claimed responsibility for Monday's attack in a video released to Palestinian television.

...The new Hamas-led PA government called the suicide bombing a legitimate response to Israeli "aggression."
