A woman was burned in an explosion at a mosque in northern Israel on Friday, police said.
"The woman opened the door of the mosque in the El Khalissa neighbourhood and an explosion, whose cause has not been determined, burned her hands and face," a police spokesman was quoted by AFP as saying.
The spokesman said she had been taken to hospital and that an investigation is underway, adding that there did not appear to be any political connection to the blast.
However, mosques in Israel have occasionally been subject to attack by Israelis.
Following a suicide bomb attack in Tel Aviv on June 30, in which 20 Israelis were killed, hardline Israelis surrounded the Mosque of Jaffa and assailed the worshippers.
