TEL AVIV, Israel - A Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up near a fast-food restaurant in a bustling commercial area of Tel Aviv during the Jewish holiday of Passover on Monday, killing five people and wounding at least 35 others, police and medics said.

Israel's Army Radio, citing police, said six people including the suicide bomber were killed. Israel TV's Channel 2 said at least 15 of the wounded were in serious condition.

The bomber struck the same falafel restaurant that was hit by an attacker on Jan. 19, medics said. In that attack, 20 people were wounded. The restaurant is in the bustling Neve Shaanan neighborhood near Tel Aviv's central bus station, which was crowded with holiday travelers.

The wounded were treated on sidewalks. One man was lying on his side, his back covered by bandages. A bleeding woman was wheeled away on a stretcher. A dazed-looking man walked near the site, his white T-shirt splattered with blood.
