Car Bomb Near Tel Aviv Wounds Three

At least three Israelis were lightly injured in a car bomb attack in Israel's central town of Or Yehuda Monday afternoon, a Tel Aviv police spokesperson told Xinhua.

The explosive was planted near or in a car parked in the center of Or Yehuda, a working class town south of Tel Aviv.

The police spokesperson confirmed that the explosion was a " terrorist attack" by extreme Palestinians, but she said no suspects were arrested until now. No group has claimed responsibility for the incident.

It was the latest explosion in a wave of bombing attacks against Israeli targets in the past two days.

On Sunday, a suicide bomber blew himself up, killing at the same time an Israeli doctor and wounding at least 50 others at a bus stop in northern Israeli city of Kfar Sava, 20 kilometers northeast of Tel Aviv.

The Palestinian militant group Hamas has taken responsibility for the attack.

Later Sunday, a car bomb went off at the northern entrance of Israel's northern coastal city of Haifa, lightly wounding three Israeli police sappers. It was not determined whether the incident was a terrorist one or a criminal one.

Earlier Monday, a roadside bomb blew off near the Jewish settlement of Ariel in the West Bank, with no casualties. No group claimed responsibility, either.
