Våbenhvile på arabisk

Den palæstinensiske version af en våbenhvile fortsætter:

An explosion at a shopping centre in the Israeli costal town of Netanya has killed at least three people.

Israeli police say it was caused by a suicide bomber, and one report says Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad says it was behind the blast.

Rescue services say they are treating at least 30 people, some of them with serious injuries. Schools have broken up for the summer in Israel and there are reports of a number of teenagers among the injured. ...

Earlier, a large explosion was reported near a Jewish settlement in northern West Bank, near the city of Nablus.

It is not clear if it was an intentional car bombing.
