Smoke is seen after what witnesses said was an Israeli air strike on tunnels in the border of southern Gaza Strip November 21, 2012. Israeli air strikes shook the Gaza Strip and Palestinian rockets struck across the border as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton held talks in Jerusalem in the early hours of Wednesday, seeking a truce that can hold back Israel's ground troops

Israel arrests terror cell behind Tel Aviv bus bombing

Wow. That was fast.

Israeli security forces have arrested the suspects they allege were behind the bombing attack on a Tel Aviv bus. Authorities claim the attack was planned by Hamas operatives.
Those arrested admitted during an interrogation that they were responsible for both preparing the bomb and choosing the target of the attack.

The Israeli Security Agency, also known as Shin Bet, said one of those arrested is an Arab-Israeli from a town of Taibeh, who was granted citizenship by marriage.
The investigation is underway and more arrests are expected to follow

The bus bomb was detonated in central Tel Aviv, near Israel's military headquarters on Wednesday, injuring at least 28 people. Six people were admitted to hospital, while the rest were treated for minor injuries and released.
Authorities suggest that the explosive was relatively small, and for that reason the injuries were not life-threatening.
This bombing is the first in Tel Aviv since 2006, and momentarily threatened efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Netanyahu agreed to ceasefire after Obama promised US troops in Sinai next week​

According to Debka, US troops will soon be en route to the Sinai peninsula, Egyptian territory in North Africa that's framed by the Suez Canal on the West and Israel on the East. In its northeast most point, Sinai is but a stone's throw from Palestinian-controlled Gaza, and according to Debka, Hamas fighters there have been relying on Iranian arms smugglers to supply them with weaponry by way of Egypt.

Israel and Palestine are momentarily at a ceasefire, but the potential reasoning behind the recess could have some real international implications. Israel's Debka reports that the pause in fighting comes after the US promised to send troops to Sinai.

ebka reports this week that Sinai will soon be occupied by US troops, who were promised by President Barack Obama to Israel's leaders as a condition that a ceasefire be called. Once deployed, the Americans will intervene with the rumored arms trade orchestrated by Iranians, ideally cutting off supplies for Hamas while at the same time serving as a thorn in the side of Iran.

"Once the missile and arms consignments depart Iranian ports or Libyan arms bazaars, Tehran has no direct control of their transit from point to point through Egypt until they reach Sinai and their Gaza destination," Debka reports. "All the same, a US special forces operation against the Sinai segment of the Iranian smuggling route would count as the first overt American military strike against an Iranian military interest."

The decision to send US troops to Sinai in exchange for a ceasefire was reportedly arranged early Wednesday morning after Pres. Obama made a deal over the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In the days prior, Israel was relentless in targeting Gaza, killing more than 100 persons — including civilians — during a renewed assault on Hamas. A ceasefire has since been called after a week of fight, but more military action could soon occur, claims Israel, if the flow of weapons to Gaza is not stopped. Netanyahu has been adamant with his pleas for the United States to strike Iran in an effort to disrupt its nuclear enrichment facilities, a demand which up until now has been brushed aside by Pres. Obama. The White House has up until now insisted on diplomatic measures in order to make an impact on any Iranian output, but Debka's sources suggest that US troops may now have to intervene in Sinai if any smugglers should attempt to move weapons into Gaza.

"By opening the Sinai door to an American troop deployment for Israel's defense, recognizes that the US force also insures Israel against Cairo revoking or failing to honor the peace treaty Egypt signed with Israel in 1979," adds Debka.

According to their sources, US troops are expected in Egypt early next week. Meanwhile, American forces have all but surrounded Iran and are stationed in countless bases across the Middle East.
