Suicide Blast Rocks Israeli Hotel

NETANYA, Israel — A suicide bomber has blown himself up in the crowded lobby of a resort hotel on the first night of the Jewish Passover holiday. Witnesses report seeing at least three bodies, and paramedics say there are dozens of casualties.

The explosion came as Jews sat down for their Passover Seders — the ritual meal that ushers in the eight-day holiday. Many hotels cater Seders in their banquet rooms.

The explosion took place in the lobby of the Park Hotel along the coastal town's boardwalk facing the Mediterranean. At the time of the blast, guests were crowding the lobby, waiting to enter the dining hall.

Netanya has been a frequent target of Palestinian attackers in the past 18 months of violence between Israel and the Palestinians.

On March 9, two Palestinian gunmen tossed grenades and opened fire at a seafront hotel in Netanya, killing a 9-month-old Israeli girl and wounding more than 30 other people. Police killed the attackers. The Al Aqsa Brigades, a group linked with Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, claimed responsibility for the attack.
