JERUSALEM – A bomber detonated explosives at a bus stop near the northern port city of Haifa on Wednesday, critically wounding himself but causing no injuries to others.
The bomber was walking along Megiddo Junction when the blast went off, possibly prematurely. A group of soldiers was standing at a nearby bus stop and might have been the intended target, Israel Army Radio said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, the second bombing in a 12-hour period. Megiddo Junction is just a few miles from the Palestinian city of Jenin in the West Bank.
