A suspected coordinated terror attack struck a suburb of Tel Aviv, Israel, on Monday, with three buses exploding in separate locations.
Miraculously, there were no casualties reported in the explosions.
According to police, two empty buses exploded simultaneously in separate parking lots, followed by a third explosion in Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv. Authorities suspect that the incident was an attempted coordinated terror attack.
The Bat Yam Municipality described the timing of the explosions as “miraculous,” noting that the buses had arrived at the parking lots just moments before the blasts.
In response to the incident, all buses in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area have been instructed to conduct security checks. Police are currently searching for suspects, with large forces deployed to the scenes.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he was being briefed on the incident and would soon hold a security assessment.
