Several injured in bus explosion by Shara Jeyarajah p.8

Earlier, an explosive was discovered in a bus in Jerusalem, injuring at least 20 people. This explosion caught an adjacent bus on fire, damaging a car. While Israeli leaders automatically declared this a terrorist attack, Israeli police is more cautious, calling this a deliberate attack. The Israeli prime minister immediately responds, saying that the terrorists will quickly be behind bars. Hamas, a Sunni fundamentalist organization, praised the attackers without claiming responsibility for planting the bomb. The arrack was launched months after the Palestinine-Israel conflict mounted, causing months of violence. Violent attacks include stabbing, gun use, and running others over by cars.
This conflict is absolutely horrible. This reminds me of when America, in an effort to protect Israel under orders of post WW2 treaties, even today, almost heighten animosity towards the rest of the Middle East and Israel, causing much violence.
