Suicide bombers kill 23 in Tel Aviv massacre

Two Palestinian suicide bombers blew themselves up seconds apart in a crowded, old part of Tel Aviv where foreign workers live, killing 23 bystanders and wounding more than 100, ending a lull in such attacks just three weeks before Israeli elections.

Israeli helicopters firing missiles blasted metal workshops in Gaza early today as Israel’s leadership met to consider how to respond to the deadliest single Palestinian attack since March.
