By The Jerusalem Post Internet Edition Staff

Initial reports are indicating that a suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowded Netanya shopping mall just a few short moments ago.

There are unofficial reports of five deaths.

Magen David Adom emergency services are reporting at least 40 wounded at this moment, according to Israel Radio.

The victims have been evacuated to the city's Laniado Hospital. Their conditions have not been reported at this time.

The blast took place at the entrance to the Sharon Mall at the northern end of the coastal resort city, two kilometers inland from the beachfront.

Security forces and police bomb squads have sealed the area and are searching for additional terrorists or explosive devices at this time.

The country's central coastal region has suffered more than 10 terror attacks over the past several weeks. Netanya has borne the brunt of these attacks.

Eyewitnesses reported seeing a large black cloud in the area of the mall, located near the city's courthouse.

There has been no Palestinian respose to the attack to this time.
