An explosion in Israel that appears to be a terrorist attack killed two people. Monday’s explosion at Moshav Kfar Yavetz near Kfar Saba was “almost certainly a terror attack,” a senior police official told Ha’aretz. A few people were also injured in the explosion. Initial reports suggested that the attack may have been due to a gas explosion. But later reports suggested that the explosion came from inside the house and that the gas canisters are outside.
