In Israel, a suicide bomber blew himself up in a Tel Aviv restaurant Thursday, wounding over 30 people. The Palestinian group Islamic Jihad, a small faction that has carried out all six suicide bombings within Israel during the past year, claimed responsibility for the attack. Palestinian Authority officials immediately condemned the bombing. Meanwhile, Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Israel has “decisive proof that the attack in Tel Aviv was a direct result of the Axis of Terror that operates between Iran and Syria. Iran supplied the money, and [Islamic] Jihad’s headquarters in Damascus directed the organization’s operatives in Nablus, giving operational orders and instructions.”?
