Bomb Blast Hits Tel Aviv Bus

At least twenty-one people have been injured in a terrorist attack on a bus in Israel’s commercial capital Tel Aviv, Israeli officials say.

After the bus explosion, huge blasts were heard in the Gaza Strip as the Israeli bombardment of the Palestinian territory continued.

This morning’s bus bomb in Tel Aviv was the first terror attack there in years.

The World’s Matthew Bell visited the site, and will report on today’s show how the bombing might affect Tel Aviv’s typically carefree lifestyle.
