Suicide Bomber Killed, 40 People Injured in Explosion in Israel
One man was killed and at least 40 people injured on Sunday in an apparent suicide bombing attack in a cafe near the northern Israeli coastal city of Haifa, Israeli government press office said.
The man who was killed was suspected to be the suicide bomber.
Meanwhile, local media reports said that up to 50 people have been treated for injuries on the scene.
No group has claimed responsibility for the blast.
Police have blocked off the streets in the area of the explosion, and Magen David Adom first-aid workers have arrived at the scene.
The Israeli security establishment received warnings in recent days of possible terror attacks in the Haifa area.
The explosion took place in Kiryat Motzkin, three days after a suicide bombing attack killed 15 people and injured more than 100 others in Jerusalem.
Both the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and the Islamic Jihad (Holy War) have claimed responsibility for the blast on Thursday.
