A powerful explosion in Tel Aviv on Sunday evening has been confirmed as a terror attack by Israeli police and Shin Bet. The explosion, which occurred near a synagogue, killed the person carrying the bomb and injured a passerby. Authorities have not disclosed the identity of the suspect but suspect he was a terrorist, possibly Palestinian. The blast happened shortly after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Tel Aviv to advocate for a ceasefire in Gaza. The incident has heightened security alerts in the region, already tense due to the ongoing conflict and recent assassination of a Hamas leader in Tehran. Investigations are ongoing to confirm whether the attack was linked to the broader regional tensions.
