Four reportedly killed in explosion in TA's Carmel Market
By MATTHEW GUTMAN

Four people were reportedly killed and several others were wounded when a large explosion occurred in the Carmel Market in Central Tel Aviv at 11:00 p.m. Monday.

The explosion occurred at a stall on the corners of Rambam and Ha'Carmel streets, at the center of the outdoor market.

Ambulances are having a hard time driving through the narrow and crowded streets to get closer to the scene.

Police say there was no specific warnings for the Carmel market.

A body of a suspected male suicide bomber has been found at the scene, Army Radio reported. Eleven wounded, one critically.

Yossi, a bystander speaking with Israel Radio a few minutes after the explosion, said he heard a large blast near one of the stands. He estimated several people were wounded or even killed in the attack.

Magen David Adom spokesman Yeruham Mandola said MDA was treating "a large number of casualties." The wounded are being evacuated to Ichilov Hospital.

Police and rescue forces are on their way to the scene, and ambulances sirens were heard in the surrounding streets.

Police suspect that there may be other bombs in the area.

Police have set up checkpoints in the area.

The reason for the explosion is still not known.
