(Worthy News) – Multiple buses exploded in central Israel in a suspected terror attack, with all devices timed for simultaneous detonation for tomorrow morning, Israel Police and Hebrew media report.
Israeli Channel 12 reports this was meant to be a “strategic terrorist attack,” with one undetonated device, weighing five kilograms, bearing the message “Revenge from Tulkarem”—a nod to recent IDF operations in that West Bank city.
A Telegram channel linked to Hamas in Tulkarm published a message stating, “The revenge of the martyrs will not be forgotten as long as the occupier is on our land,” attributed to the joint operations commander of the Tulkarm Battalion.
Tel Aviv District Police Chief Haim Sargarof stated that five identical explosive devices, all with timers, either detonated or were disabled tonight. He mentioned that the attack “looks like something [that originated] in the West Bank” and described the bombs as makeshift.
Two empty buses exploded simultaneously in parking lots in Bat Yam, a Tel Aviv suburb, with no casualties reported.
The Bat Yam Municipality noted that it was “miraculously” timed, as the buses had just arrived moments before the explosions.
A third bus explosion took place in Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv.
Following the bus bombings in Bat Yam, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz stated he has directed the IDF to intensify its operations in the West Bank.
“In light of the severe terror attack attempts [in the Tel Aviv area] by Palestinian terror organizations against the civilian population in Israel, I instructed the IDF to increase the intensity of the counterterrorism activity in the Tulkarem refugee camp, and all the refugee camps in Judea and Samaria,” he said, referring to the West Bank by its biblical name.
Katz further declared, “We will hunt down the terrorists to the bitter end and destroy the terror infrastructure in the camps used as frontline posts of the Iranian evil axis. Residents who give shelter to terror will pay a heavy price.”
