At least 15 people people are reported to have been injured in a raid by Israeli troops into a Palestinian-controlled area near Bethlehem, in the West Bank. Palestinian security officials say Israeli forces entered the town of Beit Jala in search of Palestinian gunmen. Four houses were damaged in the missile attacks. Earlier, one person was slightly injured in an explosion in suburban Tel Aviv.
Israeli police say a bomb was placed in a rubbish bin, near a bus station.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
