Three bombs exploded on empty buses near Tel Aviv in a major attempted attack, while two other devices were disabled. Israeli authorities are investigating, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed retaliation against Hamas.
Three bombs detonated on empty buses near Tel Aviv on Thursday in what officials described as a major attempted attack. Two additional explosive devices were located and disabled before they could detonate. Authorities confirmed no injuries, as the bombs had been set on timers for Friday morning.
The explosions occurred in a parking depot in Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv. Israeli police launched an investigation, deploying multiple units to secure the area. Transport Minister Miri Regev ordered all buses and trains to undergo security inspections.
Meanwhile, Israeli officials accused Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) of murdering Oded Lifshitz while in captivity. The identification process for the purported remains of Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas is still ongoing following their handover by Hamas.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded to the developments with strong remarks, vowing to take action against Hamas, calling its members “monsters.” Security forces are on high alert as investigations continue.
Police spokesperson Aryeh Doron said the situation remains “ongoing,” with officers still searching for additional explosive devices in the Tel Aviv area. He urged the public to remain alert, warning that “every suspected bag or object could make the difference.”
Channel 12 reported that one of the undetonated bombs was discovered by a passenger, who alerted the driver to a suspicious bag. Authorities suspect the attackers may have miscalculated the timers, preventing a larger-scale attack.
In response to the situation, Transport Minister Miri Regev has cut short her visit to Morocco and is returning to Israel with her team.
