The blast occurred just after 7 a.m.during the morning rush hour at an intersection on a main east-west highway near the large Israeli Arab town of Um el-Fahm, thus causing heavy casualties, officials said.

The attack came as Israelis and Palestinians were attempting to work out a Mideast cease-fire under the mediation of U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni.
