Ten people are reported to have been killed and up to 20 injured in an explosion at a restaurant in the Israeli port of Haifa.
The blast occurred in the Maxim restaurant near Haifa's beach promenade on the southern edge of the city.
Israeli ambulance service sources told the BBC that 10 people had perished in the explosion, thought to be the work of a suicide bomber.
Initial reports from police at the scene suggested a bomber had blown himself up after entering the restaurant, destroying the building.
If confirmed, it will be the first such attack since 9 September when 15 people were killed in twin suicide bombings in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
An Israeli police spokesman told Reuters: "Forces are on the way to the scene. It was apparently a terrorist attack."
