One person has been killed and many wounded in bombings at Jerusalem bus stops in what Israel is labelling as suspected Palestinian attacks.
Several people were in a critical condition after a first explosion wounded 11 at a bus stop in west Jerusalem. Three people were wounded in a later blast at a bus stop near a busy intersection.
One person later died in hospital, police confirmed. Several are in critical condition.
The blasts came just hours after Israeli forces killed a 16-year-old Palestinian during a night-time raid in the occupied West Bank. Tensions are high since a string of Palestinian attacks in Israel earlier this year in which 19 people were killed, prompting almost daily Israeli raids into Palestinian territory.—The National
