Israel: Three Bombs Explode on Empty Buses Near Tel Aviv

Israel almost suffered another major terrorist attack.
Terrorists reportedly set bombs on buses near Tel Aviv to go off Thursday night instead of Friday morning.
Three of the five bombs exploded on the empty buses as they sat in a parking lot.
Authorities disabled two bombs.
The Times of Israel reported that one undetonated bomb had a message on it: “Revenge from Tulkarem.” More:
A Telegram channel claiming to represent Hamas’s so-called Tulkarem Battalion, based in the West Bank’s Tulkarem, puts out a statement that may signal the group’s responsibility for a combined bus bombing attack in Tel Aviv earlier tonight.
The statement reads: “The revenge of the martyrs will not be forgotten so long as the occupier is present on our land… This is a jihad of either victory or martyrdom.”
Defense Minister Israel Katz told the IDF to increase its response in the West Bank:
“In light of the severe terror attack attempts [in the Tel Aviv area] by Palestinian terror organizations against the civilian population in Israel, I instructed the IDF to increase the intensity of the counterterrorism activity in the Tulkarem refugee camp, and all the refugee camps in Judea and Samaria,” he says in a statement, using the West Bank’s biblical name.
“We will hunt down the terrorists to the bitter end and destroy the terror infrastructure in the camps used as frontline posts of the Iranian evil axis,” Katz says.
“Residents who give shelter to terror will pay a heavy price,” he adds.
The IDF has been carrying out a major offensive in the northern West Bank, dubbed Operation Iron Wall, since January 21.
BREAKING: There have been two bus bombings right outside of Tel Aviv and reports of a third. According to preliminary reports, the bombs were supposed to go off tomorrow morning when the buses were filled with people.

BREAKING: Unconfirmed reports indicate that Hamas activated a cell to plant bombs on buses and a train station, intending for them to detonate between 9:30 and 10:00 AM, the same time as the hostage release.
The terrorists mistakenly set them for PM instead. https://t.co/Mwgkx68wYn

Palestine just tried to murder thousands of civilians on buses but failed because they set the bombs to go off at 9:30 PM instead of 9:30 AM.
Their utter stupidity is not to be mistaken for moral superiority.

So Israel can now consider the “ceasefire” over and once again take offensive action against Hamas and its Arab terror5ist supporters?
Perhaps Netanyahu will realize the futility of negotiating with terrorists. But I doubt that will happen.
How about 3 large bombs in the West Bank, tit for tat, though I think 30 would be more appropriate.
Fuel air bomb in the reHas refugee camps?
Yes, they are literally breeding grounds for terrorists.
How about 150? 30 for every one of theirs. Isn’t that the deal they made on terrorists for hostages?
That’s the traditional “You can’t live here” message, from yesteryear.
Flatten the rubble.
From the message left on the bus, it looks like they may have to expand their search for terrorists into the West Bank area and not just gaza.
As often as the barbarians have targeted transportation infrastructure, you would think the Israelis would have those bus parks locked down tighter than Fort Knox.
I’m not sure how tight Fort Knox is locked down. I guess we’ll find out, but my suspicion is that any security at Knox is to keep the public from finding out how much gold isn’t there.
Time to configure some more pages and cell phones.
