A medium-intensity bomb was found Sunday afternoon in a bus station in Tel Aviv. Specifically, just before the great Dizengoff shopping center in the heart of the White City.The bomb was found in a plastic bag, a few meters from one of the entrances to the mall. The bomb squad arrived on the scene within 4 minutes, the neighborhood has been evacuated and the bomb was defused.

The bomb scares are very common in Israel.  The State with 20% of its Muslim population, the dangers are enormous and when you consider the daily rate of support for terrorist movements in the Arab population.

A bomb this place, which would have exploded at midday, could have left dozens dead and hundreds injured. Especially since Israel is celebrating the festival of Sukkot and that most Israelis do not work during this period. If one adds to this the fact that for these holidays, employees receive virtually all of "vouchers" for their companies to spend in this type of shopping malls, one could imagine the worst.
