HAMAS CELEBRATES TEL AVIV BUS BOMBING Tel Aviv bus hit by bomb; Hamas celebrates By Rami Amichai TEL AVIV \| Wed Nov 21, 2012 reuters.com (Reuters) - A bomb exploded on a bus in central Tel Aviv on Wednesday, wounding 15 people in what Israeli officials said was a terrorist attack that could complicate efforts to secure a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Celebratory gunfire rang out across Gaza as the news spread and the territory's Islamist rulers Hamas praised the bombing, but no one claimed immediate responsibility. Police said suggested that someone might have left the device on the number 142 bus. The driver, who escaped largely unscathed, told reporters he had not seen anyone suspicious get on board. "I felt the explosion ... Smoke was everywhere, you couldn't see a thing," he said. Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri hailed the explosion. "Hamas blesses the attack in Tel Aviv," he told Reuters. Sweet cakes were handed out in celebration in Gaza's main hospital, which has been inundated with wounded from the round-the-clock Israeli bombing and shelling. "GATES OF HELL" "You opened the gates of hell on yourselves," Hamas's armed wing, the al-Qassam brigades, said on Twitter. "Oh Zionists, you have to drag yourselves out of hell, go back home now, go back to Germany, Poland, Russia and anywhere else." The last time a bomb blast hit Israel's commercial capital was in April 2006, when a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 11 people at a sandwich stand near the old central bus station. Hamas fired at least four rockets at the metropolis over the past week. "This was a terror attack. There is a massive preparedness within the police and security forces. We must keep awareness to a maximum. These are not normal times," said Israel's Police Chief Yohanan Danino.
