A member of the Palestinian group Hamas killed 15 people and injured 40 when he blew himself up on a bus in the port city of Haifa, the first such attack in two months. Shortly afterward, 11 Palestinians were killed and more than 100 wounded in a raid by Israeli troops on the Gaza refugee camp of Jabalya.
