Three buses in a parking lot exploded in Israel on Thursday night in what appears to have been a terrorist attack. No one was injured. Several other bombs were reportedly discovered on other buses, according to TPS-IL, an Israeli news agency.
Israeli officials have ordered all bus and train services halted while all vehicles are inspected for bombs following the three bus explosions. Three public buses exploded on Thursday night at around 8:30 PM as they sat at a bus depot in Bat Yam, a city located just south of Tel Aviv.
Firefighters arrived on the scene and put out the fires. The buses were empty at the time and no one was wounded.
Two other explosive devices were found under other buses after the police and Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, asked drivers to stop buses and check for devices.
A preliminary police investigation determined that all the explosive devices were identical and equipped with a timer set to detonate on Friday, authorities said. The explosions took place just hours after Hamas released the bodies of four Israeli hostages held in Gaza. The hostages were the first eight that Israel believes are dead and to be returned during the current phase of the ceasefire.
“We need to determine if a single suspect placed explosives on a number of buses, or if there were multiple suspects,” Police spokesman Haim Sargrof said.
The buses had finished their routes and were in a parking lot, said Tzvika Brot, mayor of Bat Yam. He said one of the unexploded bombs was being defused in the nearby town of Holon.
Following a security assessment with Israeli officials, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered an “intensive operation” against “centers of terrorism” in the West Bank and for authorities to “increase preventative activity” against possible attacks in Israeli cities.
Yup. Hamas are monsters. Those who support Hamas are monsters. President Trump is right that the Palestinians need to be removed from Gaza. But the same applies to all of them throughout Israel: Those who are innocent deserve a different and better life elsewhere and those who aren’t innocent don’t deserve life.
The timers were set to go off this morning Israel time, when the buses would have been packed with Yidden! Especially on a Friday when many people travel for Shabbos! הודו לה׳ כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו
It’s because the 2001 terrorists were released from jail.
What have we come to!
Baruch Hashem for the miracles!
