A hand grenade tossed at a bus near a vegetable market early this evening sent three people to the hospital for treatment of slight wounds and shock. Police cordoned off the area in central Tel Aviv to search for the assailants.
The bus was waiting at a stop on Hashmonayim Street outside the wholesale vegetable market at 7 p.m. local time when a grenade was hurled over the wall that surrounds the market. Eye-witnesses said they saw several men running from the scene. All of the bus windows were shattered, littering a wide area with broken glass.
