| Israeli security forces have occupied territory around Jenin and Nablus. The moves come as hundreds of Israeli mourners turned out to remember three people killed in a suicide bombing Thursday night. Israeli radio identified the bomber as a Palestinian member of the Islamic Jihad. Three explosions tore through the entrance to a crowded pedestrian mall in downtown Jerusalem, killing six and wounding more than 150 people. Rescue workers, fearing more bombs, raced to the scene to move people away as area hospitals called in volunteers. At least two suicide bombers detonated explosives near Zion Square. Either another suicide bomber or a car bomb exploded minutes later, apparently aimed to harm incoming rescue workers. A witness said the third explosion came from a car parked outside an ice cream parlor. |
