A suspected Islamic terrorist accidentally blew himself up in Tel Aviv, Israel on Sunday night while he was transporting a bomb that authorities believe was either meant for a suicide attack or to be placed and remotely detonated.
The incident happened at around 8 p.m. when Israel Police’s emergency hotline was flooded with calls about an explosion that happened.
“It has been confirmed as a bomb explosion,” police said. “As a result of the explosion, one person, whose identity is still unknown, was killed, and another person was moderately injured according to medical sources and was transported to a hospital for treatment.”
Footage from a nearby security camera captured the powerful blast.
