Six people were wounded in two separate attacks in the Tel Aviv area on Monday, which were possibly carried out in reaction to the Israel Defense Forces' assassination of Hamas spiritual leader Shiekh Ahmed Yassin earlier in the day.
Hamas, Hezbollah and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, which is linked to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction, have all vowed revenge for the assassination.
Three people suffered light injuries when a knife-wielding Arab man stabbed them on the No. 10 bus on Yeffet Street in Jaffa late Monday afternoon. Police were searching for the assailant, who managed to flee the scene.
The suspect is said to be an Arab in his 20s, and was seen wearing a brown coat.
In a separate incident earlier in the day, a Palestinian man wounded three Israelis, two men and a woman, with an ax outside an army base in a Tel Aviv suburb.
The woman, a 32-year-old Ramat Gan resident, underwent surgery and is said to be in moderate-to-serious condition in the Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer.
Another man, a 50-year-old resident of Bnei Brak, is hospitalized with moderate injuries, and a third man, a 29-year-old resident of Ramat Gan, suffered light injuries and has been released from the hospital.

2. Israelis also attacked Khan Younis

There, a 13yr old boy involved in a protest of the martyring of Yasin was shot in the head by Israeli snipers, with 4 others wounded.

In Tel Aviv these were probably Palestinians who live inside Israel as behind it. There are many supporters of the Hamas movement there. At any rate, haven't heard of any organization claiming it yet.

5. martyring of Yasin???

What is that supposed to mean? yasin was the leader of a militant army that had declared war on Israel's army. He died as a commander of hamas. There is nothing here that can be rightfully claimed as "a martyring."

3. 5 said killed in clashes with IDF in W. Bank, Gaza

"Five Palestinians, including a 13-year-old boy, were killed and dozens injured, Palestinian sources said, in riots that broke out in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip on Monday following the Israel Defense Forces' assassination of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin around dawn."

"In the Khan Yunis refugee camp in southern Gaza, IDF soldiers shot and killed three Palestinians, including a 13-year-old boy, during clashes with hundreds of angry protesters.

The demonstrators flocked to a roadblock west of the refugee camp, near Neveh Dekalim, and threw stones at the soldiers guarding it.

Witnesses said the soldiers fired live ammunition at the crowd, which consisted mostly of schoolchildren."

4. I see it only getting worse from here

Sharon brought it on them.

6. yassin brought in on himself

He was a cammander of a militant army named hamas and was killed rightfully. If it wasnt Sharon it would have been any responsible commander that took him out. There is zero defense for yassin.
