Four people were reportedly killed and several others were wounded when a large explosion occurred in the Carmel Market in Central Tel Aviv at 11:00 p.m. Monday.

Explosion Kills Four in Tel Aviv Market
The Associated Press
TEL AVIV, Israel
An explosion went off Monday in a crowded open-air market in Tel Aviv, and a TV report said at least four people were killed.
Paramedics said dozens of shoppers were hurt in the blast in the Carmel market.
The cause of the explosion remained unclear, and police were still checking whether Palestinian militants or criminals were involved, or whether it was an accident.
A witness, who was identified only by his first name, Motti, said he heard an explosion in the market. "I thought maybe fireworks, or a gas canister. But then I saw a store, completely destroyed. Goods fell to the ground. People ran away. I lost my glasses and my hat," Motti told Israel Army Radio.
Israel TV's Channel Two, quoting a local fire chief, said four people were killed.
Yeruham Mendola, a spokesman for the Magen David Adom rescue service, said dozens of people were hurt.
According to Haaretz, the number of dead is 3 (actually only 2, the scum bomber doesn't count in my opinion) and all 30 injured have been evactuated...
