A bomb blast in Tel Aviv late on Sunday has been confirmed as a terrorist attack, Israeli police and the Shin Bet domestic intelligence agency said on Monday.

The man carrying the bomb, which exploded near a synagogue, was killed and a passerby was injured, according to police at the scene.

"It can now be confirmed that this was a terror attack," police and Shin Bet said in a joint statement on Monday.

Sunday's explosion came about an hour after U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Tel Aviv to push for a ceasefire in Gaza that will end the 10-month-old war between Israel and Hamas.

Isn’t this just war? Would be like Russia claiming Ukraines recent attacks into Russia are terrorist attacks….

If it had been a strategic target like a military convoy or supply depot, etc, I would agree with you. In this case, it looks like they were targeting a synagogue.

Then by that logic almost everything Israel has done in Gaza is a terrorist attack.

Yes, exactly. The IDF intentionally attacks civilians in Palestine by shelling houses, for the purpose of demoralizing the population into surrendering to extermination. Sounds like terrorism to me!
