Bus blasts in Israel are ‘suspected terror attack’, say police | Israel




A string of explosions has rocked buses in the Israeli city of Bat Yam, in what police described as a “suspected terror attack”, with an official saying that there were no injuries.

No injuries were reported in the blasts late on Thursday. Police said bomb disposal units were searching for any additional bombs in the city which is a suburb of Tel Aviv.

Israeli police said three bombs exploded while two were being defused at separate locations.

“These are identical explosive devices with a timer. Three have detonated, and two additional ones have been located and are currently being neutralised,” a police spokesperson told AFP.

Large police forces had been deployed to search for suspects, the police said in a statement.

“Police bomb disposal units are scanning for additional suspicious objects. We urge the public to avoid the areas and remain alert for any suspicious items,” it added.

Tzvika Brot, the mayor of Bat Yam, said in a video statement that the explosions took place on two buses in two different parking lots.

“There are no injured in these incidents,” Brot said, adding that the causes of the explosions were still unclear.

Television footage aired by some Israeli networks showed a completely burnt-out bus, while another was on fire.

Israeli media said that bus drivers countrywide had been asked to stop and inspect their own buses for additional possible explosive devices.
