JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel signaled on Thursday it would not rush into any open conflict with Iran or its Lebanese guerrilla ally Hezbollah despite blaming them for a deadly attack on its citizens in Bulgaria.
A suicide bomber killed eight people on a bus carrying Israeli tourists in Burgas airport, drawing a promise by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “react powerfully” to what he called “Iranian terror”.
Sofia officials have yet to say publicly who they think organized the attack and Iran dismissed as unfounded Israel’s accusations that it had played a role.
