Ten killed in Mid-East violence
Ten people have died in one of the bloodiest days of Israeli-Palestinian violence in months.
Four Israelis and a Palestinian suicide bomber were killed in an attack at a bus stop near the Israeli city of Tel Aviv.
The blast occurred shortly after Israeli helicopters killed three militants and two bystanders in an attack on a car in Gaza City.
One of those killed was a commander of the radical Islamic Jihad movement.
Before we consider a political move, we must expel the terror regime of Arafat and the gang of terrorists that comes with him
Israeli Health Minister Dan Naveh
Israeli army spokesman Jacob Dallal said the commander, Mekled Hameid, was a "ticking bomb... in the midst of planning a major attack".
Islamic Jihad vowed to retaliate for Mr Hameid's death.
"We promise the [Israeli] occupiers severe retaliation for the assassination crime... the Zionist occupation will pay dearly for the murder," the group told the Associated Press news agency.
Israel has used helicopters to track and kill dozens of militants fighting in the three-year-old Palestinian uprising known as the intifada.
'Terrorist attack'
Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei condemned both attacks.
"Regretting the continuation of the cycle of assassinations, liquidations and attacks against civilians on both sides, the prime minister calls for a stop to this bloody circle and the conclusion of a reciprocal cease fire," a cabinet statement said.
But following the Tel Aviv blast, Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz announced the "total closure" of the Palestinian territories, a spokesman told AFP news agency.
Israeli Health Minister Dan Naveh, while visiting the wounded, blamed Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat for the Tel Aviv bombing.
"Before we consider a political move, by agreement or unilateral, we must expel the terror regime of Arafat and the gang of terrorists that comes with him," he said.
The blast happened at around 1800 local time (1600 GMT) at Geha, a major junction outside Tel Aviv.
The bus hit in the explosion was on its way to the nearby town of Petah Tikva. Two women and a man were among those killed and at least 12 others injured, several seriously.
Palestinian workers routinely gather at the junction to seek illegal employment, according to police.
An eye-witness told Israel Radio that there were wounded people lying everywhere. He said other cars were hit by the blast.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) said it carried out the attack, which, it said, would be followed by more.
The bombing is the first such attack since a bomb at a restaurant in the northern Israeli city of Haifa killed 21 people in October, though Israeli officials say they have captured more than 20 potential suicide bombers trying to enter Israel since then.
The Gaza attack is also the first of its kind for several months.
Peace setback
The BBC's Simon Wilson in Jerusalem says this week is proving the bloodiest in the conflict for several months.
In a separate incident in Gaza, the Israeli army said earlier it had foiled an attempted Palestinian militant attack by shooting a man dead.
An Israeli raid in Gaza on Tuesday left nine people dead.
The raid led Palestinian leaders to cancel a planned meeting with Israeli officials.
Correspondents say Thursday's violence is certain to set back even further tentative efforts at peacemaking which have been under way over the last few weeks.
