02-23, 2025According to Israeli media reports, Transportation Minister Miri Regev has suspended the operation of all buses, trains, and light rail trains nationwide for explosive device inspections. Videos on social media show at least one bus on fire in a parking lot, sending up a huge plume of smoke. This measure aims to prevent further incidents and reassure the public about the safety of public transportation.
The Israeli Prime Minister's Office posted on X that Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israeli military to launch "intensive operations" against "terrorist centers" in the West Bank. Police spokesman Ari Doron stated that police are still searching for more bombs in Tel Aviv. Doron told Channel 12 shortly after the explosions that police were conducting searches in the area and added that the public must be vigilant about "every suspicious bag or object."
Doron also stated, "We may have been lucky if the terrorists indeed set these timers incorrectly. But it is too early to tell now." According to local media reports, one of the unexploded devices weighed 5 kilograms and had the words "Revenge from Tulkarm" written on it - referring to a recent Israeli counter-terrorism operation in the West Bank. In response, Netanyahu ordered action in the West Bank and instructed the police and the Israel Security Agency to "intensify preventive activities to deal with possible further attacks in Israeli cities."
No casualties have been reported so far. Kan Public Broadcaster reported that Transportation Minister Miri Regev has shortened her visit to Morocco and will return to Israel. The minister's early return underscores the gravity of the situation and the government's commitment to addressing the crisis.
