Police spokesperson Aryeh Doron says the “event is ongoing,” with officers still trying to locate more bombs in the Tel Aviv area in addition to three that went off on empty buses and two others that were found and disabled in Bat Yam and Holon.
“At this time, the event is ongoing, our forces are still scouring the area,” Doron tells Channel 12, adding that the public must be on alert for “every suspected bag or object,” which “could make the difference.
“We may be lucky if indeed the terrorists set these timers to the wrong hour. But it’s too early to determine,” he says.
Channel 12 also reports that one of the undetonated devices was found by a passenger who notified the driver about a suspicious bag.
The Kan public broadcaster reports that Transportation Minister Miri Regev has cut short her ongoing visit to Morocco and will return to Israel with her team sooner than planned.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
