Israel has blamed Palestinian militants for a series of bus bombings in Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv. Three buses were destroyed, and a fourth bomb was defused, though no injuries were reported. The attacks, which appeared to target rush-hour commuters, come amid ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz ordered the military to increase operations in Palestinian refugee camps, particularly in Tulkarem. While no group claimed responsibility, Hamas’s Tulkarem Battalion suggested it was a retaliatory attack for Israeli operations. The bombings raise concerns about rising violence and the security of public spaces in Israel.
