Bomb Explodes Near Israeli Army Checkpoint

An explosive device blew up Sunday morning near an Israeli army checkpoint near the West Bank city of Qalqilya, but no injuries were reported, the army said.

The incident took place near the Jewish settlement of Alsi Menmasha and the army has cordoned off the area and was searching for additional bombs, an official from the army spokesman's office told Xinhua.

No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing incident. And the official said that the army has not found any suspected attackers.

It was the second bombing attack against Israel in less than 24 hours. On Saturday, two pipe bombs blasted an hour apart in Kfar Sava, a town not far away from Tel Aviv, wounding one Israeli.
