The attack marked the first suicide bombing in Israel since November 1st and the first breach of a ceasefire agreement brokered three weeks ago between Israel and the Palestinians.

Israel has also threatened to freeze peace efforts if the Palestinian leadership does not crack down on militant groups following the bombing.
