Late Thursday night, explosions struck at least three empty buses in central Israel, suspected to be a terrorist act. Police found five undetonated explosives, primarily on buses parked in Bat Yam and Holon. No casualties were reported, leading local officials to express relief but emphasize the severity of the situation. Hamas's military wing issued a statement threatening revenge, prompting Israeli officials to intensify military operations in the West Bank. The Israeli Defense Forces have begun blocking entry points to some areas as a precautionary measure.
Five explosives were found, said Haim Sargrof, commander of Israel Police's Tel Aviv District. Several of the bombs were planted on buses that exploded.
There was big luck. A significant attack was thwarted,” said Bat Yam Mayor Tzvika Brot in a video posted to Facebook.
We will hunt down the terrorists relentlessly and dismantle the terror infrastructure in these camps, which serve as forward bases for Iran's axis of evil,” Defense Minister Israel Katz stated.
Hamas's military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, put out a statement... saying that 'the revenge for our martyrs will not be forgotten as long as the occupier remains on our land.'
