It said a man and woman around 30 years of age as well as a 15-year-old boy were seriously injured.

The attack took place at a bus and train station in Haifa, a large coastal city in northern Israel home to a mixed Jewish and Arab population.

Israel blocked the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza on Sunday after a disagreement with the Palestinian Islamist movement over extending the ceasefire.
