Explosion on Israeli Bus, 10 Wounded -- Reports
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An explosion rocked an Israeli bus near the central bus station in Tel Aviv Sunday, Israel radio reported, and emergency workers said around 10 people were wounded.
It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion, which came two days after the World Court ruled that Israel's West Bank barrier is illegal.
Israel says the barrier is necessary to keep suicide bombers, who have killed scores of Israelis since the start of Israeli-Palestinian hostilities in September 2000, out of its cities. Palestinians denounce it as an attempt to grab land.
The head of emergency medical services Yossi Cohen in Tel Aviv told Israel radio that it was possible that the explosion went off at a bus station -- next to, and not on, the bus.
Magen David Adom emergency services said most of the injured were only slightly wounded.

Clearly, these kinds of incidents wouldn't happen if Israel would simply stop building and tear down the fence.
This is grotesque, the World Court and the Palestinians are crying that it's "Illegal" for the Israelis to make it harder for the Palies to kill them. Nobody says it's wrong for Pali death squads to be targeting Israel.
The Israeli wounded and murdered tolls before and after the Wall construction tell their own tale. And someone should ask the crippled and blinded Israeli bomb survivors if they wish the Wall had gone up sooner so their mad bombers might not have made it.
But let's see the World Court live by their own standards and get rid of all metal detectors and guards for their buildings. Ain't going to happen of course, because they have the right to defend themselves from attack but Israelis don't.
Alice, meet Wonderland.
Wonderland, eat Alice.
