the military wing of the Hamas Resistance movement, and the al-Quds
Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement,
claimed responsibility for the martyrdom operation in Tel Aviv on Sunday.

In a joint statement, the Resistance factions said martyrdom operations

in the 1948 occupied Palestinian territories will return to the forefront
so long as occupation's massacres, displacement of civilians, and
assassinations are ongoing.

Such martyrdom operations had not been employed by the Palestinian
Resistance for years.

The announcement comes after occupation police and the Shin Bet said the
explosion in Tel Aviv was an attack carried out by the Palestinian
Resistance, in which an improvised explosive device was detonated.

According to the *Times of Israel*, the Shin Bet was still trying to
identify the Resistance fighter who carried out the operation.

In turn, the Israeli *Kan* newspaper claimed the operative was from Nablus,
West Bank, while the *Intel Times* reported Israeli concerns that the
fighter was not operating on his own.

Meanwhile, *Yediot Ahronoth* said the occupation's security apparatus
"feared turning the West Bank into a war zone," adding that hamas was
recruiting and funding tens of brigades to carry out stronger attacks,
while using explosive devices and trying to manufacture rockets.

A powerful explosion in Tel Aviv

Sunday evening claimed the life of one individual, as occupation
authorities confirmed that the blast was caused by an explosive device
placed on the truck.

The incident, which occurred in a busy area of the city, has prompted an
extensive investigation by the police, who are exploring all potential
motives behind the attack, including it being a Resistance operation.
