Palestinian suicide bombing at bus stop in Umm el-Fahm raises tensions
A Palestinian blew himself up at a northern Israel bus stop near Umm el-Fahm during rush hour, killing a police officer and wounding another officer and a bystander. The attack marks the first death by own action against Israelis in six weeks and follows a failed Palestinian truce offer. Israeli and Palestinian officials described the incident in the broader context of renewed violence and stalled peace efforts.
