From the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website:

MFA Newsflash

Sept 9: At least six people were killed and 15 wounded, most seriously, in a suicide bombing shortly before 6 p.m. on Sunday at a bus stop near the Zrifin army base and Assaf Harofe Hospital. Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack.

Tell me again, why should Israel show restraint when dealing with Hamas?
