The police are investigating the bombing as a terrorist attack
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a military incursion in the West Bank after three empty buses exploded in quick succession in parking lots in Tel Aviv on Thursday night.
“The prime minister has ordered the IDF to carry out an intensive operation against centers of terrorism in Judea and Samaria. The prime minister also ordered the Israel Police and the ISA to increase preventative activity against additional attacks in Israeli cities,” Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.
According to the Times of Israel, the police discovered and neutralized two more bombs on buses after three empty vehicles exploded in the suburbs of Bat Yam and Holon. The prime minister’s office described the incident as “an attempt to perpetrate a chain of mass bus bombings.”
Tel Aviv police chief, Haim Sargarof, told reporters that the attack “looks like something [that originated] in the West Bank.”
