Another Barrel Bomb Found Near Tel Aviv

An Israeli police bomb squad has destroyed a barrel containing explosives that washed up Wednesday on Palmahim beach south of Tel Aviv, the Jerusalem Post reports.

This was the third barrel bomb found on the coast this week. Two others washed up near Ashkelon and Ashdod on Monday.

Several Gaza-based Palestinian terror groups claimed that as many as eight of the explosive devices were released into the water in revenge for last month's death of a Hamas operative in Dubai.
