U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is back in Israel Wednesday after a visit to the West Bank where she continued her efforts to broker a truce between Israel and Gaza’s militant Hamas rulers.
However, despite reports Tuesday that a cease-fire may be on the horizon, violence continued on both sides of the conflict. Israeli media reported Wednesday that an explosion on a bus across from the military headquarters in Tel Aviv injured at least 10, as Israeli airstrikes continued to pound Gaza overnight.
Zaki Heller from the Israeli rescue services told The Associated Press that the wounded in the bus explosion have varying degrees of injuries, but was unclear if anyone was killed. An Israeli driver who witnessed the explosion told Army Radio the bus was “completely charred inside.”
Clinton went back to Jerusalem Wednesday after holding talks in the West Bank with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
She will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman in her attempts to help piece together a deal that would satisfy the two foes after eight days of fighting.
