In pictures: Israel blasts

A wave of apparently coordinated attacks at the weekend has killed 26 Israelis, plunging the country into grief and shock.

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up in central Jerusalem on Saturday night. On Sunday a Jewish settler was shot dead in Gaza, and at lunchtime, a bus bombing killed 15 Israelis in the northern city of Haifa.
