Violence erupts amid ceasefire negotiations

Palestinian groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad on Monday claimed responsibility for a bombing in Tel Aviv, calling it a "suicide operation" and threatening more attacks in Israel as the Gaza war drags on. Israeli police earlier said the blast in Israel's commercial hub was a "terror attack" that prompted heightened alert. The bombing comes as the US tries to broker a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken was in the Middle East as mediators continued to reach agreement on a ceasefire deal.
