Blast Investigated as Suicide Attack
An explosion in a house in the Israeli village of Kfar Yavetz near the West Bank killed two people, and police were investigating the possibility that a suicide bomber was involved.
The bodies of the female homeowner and a young man were found. Police Cmdr. Amihai Shai said that “there are signs that this was an attack.” Fire chief Eli Barza said the initial assessment was that a gas leak caused the blast, but there were questions about the man’s identity. Radio reports said explosive residue was found at the scene.
