At the same time, police reported a bomb went off in a Jerusalem municipality truck parked in the internationally illegal Gilo Jewish settlement, wounding two people.
Gilo, considered by Israel to be a neighborhood of Jerusalem, has witnessed fierce gun battles between Palestinian lightly armed Palestinian Resistance men and Israeli occupation soldiers armed to the teeth since the start of a Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation.
Palestinian Resistance has often set off car bombs since the start of their uprising in September. Israel recently assassinated the leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, accusing him of planning such attacks.
