On the 23rd, two explosions occurred in succession in Jerusalem in the Middle East, killing one Israeli nearby and injuring more than 20 people.
No claim has been made, but the Palestinian Islamic organization Hamas has issued a statement praising the explosion, and there are concerns that tensions will rise in the future.
In Jerusalem on the morning of the 23rd, an explosion occurred at a bus stop in a heavily Israeli area, and half an hour later, another explosion occurred in another part of Jerusalem.
In these two explosions, people who were in the vicinity were injured and taken to the hospital, and according to local police, one Israeli died and more than 20 people were injured.
It is rare in recent years for consecutive explosions to occur in Jerusalem, and according to local media, it seems that a large number of nails were set in the explosives, and the police suspected that someone cooperated with the two explosions. We are investigating the background, etc., as there is a suspicion of terrorism.
No one has claimed responsibility for the blast, but the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas has issued a statement praising the events in Jerusalem as a product of the Israeli occupation.
Following the results of the general election held on the 1st of this month in Israel, former Prime Minister Netanyahu aimed to establish the most hardline government in Palestine history, and called for the expulsion of Palestinians, etc. This is happening while negotiations for a coalition are underway, and there are concerns that tensions will rise in the future.
