A top Border Police official tells Kan Radio he believes that “in the coming days we will get to each and every one of those involved” in last week’s bombings in Jerusalem “and bring them to justice.”
Chief Superintendent Oded Aflalo, head of the Operations Branch for Border Police, says “the investigation is ongoing on several levels: intelligence, which we will not detail, but which is advancing, and operational, in which the Border Police is working with the Shin Bet, the Yamam (police counter-terror unit) and other units.”
The two blasts near entrances to Jerusalem killed two people and injured 22 others. They were caused by bombs left near two bus stops.
Yesterday evening saw reports of intensive police and Shin Bet operations in East Jerusalem as part of the search for the people behind the attacks.
Reports said Israeli forces were narrowing their focus, but additional details were barred from publication.

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.
