Woman injured in Gaza bus bombing

A bomb went off today near an armoured bus carrying Israelis in the Gaza Strip and at least one woman was hurt, the military said.

The bus was driving from the Jewish settlement of Netzarim in central Gaza to Israel when the explosion happened.

Fifteen people were in the bus, and Israel Radio said one woman was hurt and was being treated at the scene. Moshe Hiller, a Netzarim resident, said he had reports of at least two people being hurt.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Earlier this week, Islamic terrorists carried out four suicide bombings over 48 hours, killing 12 Israelis and wounding dozens more.
