Deadly bomb blast in Tel Aviv was a terrorist attack, Israeli police say

A bomb blast in Tel Aviv late on Sunday has been confirmed as a terrorist attack, Israeli police and the Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency said on Monday.

The man carrying the bomb, which exploded near a synagogue, was killed and a passerby was injured, according to police at the scene.

“It can now be confirmed that this was a terror attack,” police and Shin Bet said in a joint statement on Monday.

Sunday’s explosion came about an hour after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Tel Aviv to push for a ceasefire in Gaza that will end the 10-month-old war between Israel and Hamas.

I often wonder why it’s a terrorist attack when bombs go off in Israel, but when Israel bombs Gaza or the West Bank it’s called retaliation.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Isn’t this just war? Would be like Russia claiming Ukraines recent attacks into Russia are terrorist attacks….

That depends if there were any valid military targets near the synagogue. If there wasn’t, it isn’t a valid strike target in the same way Israel’s hospital strikes are invalid.

If it had been a strategic target like a military convoy or supply depot, etc, I would agree with you. In this case, it looks like they were targeting a synagogue.

Then by that logic almost everything Israel has done in Gaza is a terrorist attack.

I mean, yeah

Israel has been killing hundreds of Palestinians civilians in refugee centers, schools and hospitals for months on the claim that a military target was inside.

Was there any Israel military personnel in that synagogue? By Israels doctrine, any number of civilian infrastructure and casualties are justified to kill any military target.

Doesn’t sound like terrorism to me.

Terror is what’s happening in Gaza by Israel.
