But the timers were set wrong, and so no one was on the buses when they went up. The buses were supposed to have exploded while crowded, murdering hundreds of people and…more condemnations of Israel.
“3 buses explode in Bat Yam, Holon in suspected strategically planned terror attack,” Times of Israel, February 20, 2025:
Three empty buses exploded in quick succession in parking lots in the Tel Aviv suburbs of Bat Yam and Holon on Thursday night in what police said was a suspected terror attack.
There were no injuries reported in the incidents. Police said they recovered two other unexploded devices on buses nearby. According to Hebrew media reports, those devices were discovered in Holon.
Police said they were combing the scene and searching for suspects, while bomb sappers were hunting for any other suspicious items in the vicinity.
Transportation Minister Miri Regev issued an order to the head of the Transportation Authority to halt service and conduct a search of all buses, trains and light rails. Regev was reported to be cutting short a visit to Morocco amid the incident.
Speaking to reporters at the scene, Haim Sargarof, the Tel Aviv District police chief, said that the devices had timers but they were improvised explosives, and that the attack “looks like something [that originated] in the West Bank.”
Sargarof said there was “something written,” on the devices, without elaborating, apparently referencing media reports of a written threat on one of the devices from the West Bank city of Tulkarem. He said he did not know how many suspects were involved in planning the attack.
According to a Channel 12 news report, the devices were slated to explode on Friday, when the buses were in use, but were somehow set off early. The network also reported that one of the undetonated devices was found due to an alert of a passenger who notified the driver of a suspicious bag.
In a statement, the Bat Yam Municipality said that “miraculously, the buses arrived at the parking lots a moment before the explosion,” and were already empty of their passengers….
“Hamas West Bank branch hints it’s behind major attempted bus bombings in Tel Aviv area,” Times of Israel, February 20, 2025:
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.”…

“suspected terror attack.” Israel should not fall into the same pattern as other nations. Be firm. Explosives are not put on buses….many buses….to give those riding a ‘unique’ experience and to make their trip pleasant.
Had the buses been on the streets, filled with people going to work or school, shopping or to medical appointments, the terror would have been horrific and obvious.
Thankfully, the buses were empty.
Hudders. says
Well said @SH my friend in Christ.
A true miracle indeed. Horrors were averted.
The Lord has heard the innocent blood crying out.
After the last 24 shocking hours of islamic mockery in Gaza,
There will be righteous judgement visited on the Hamas monsters.
Vengeance is mine sayeth The Lord.
(Just think, the UK Gov are detemined to allow Gazan scum into the country!)
somehistory says
Thank you very much, Hudders. Yes, a true miracle. God is making Himself known as the Book of Ezekiel makes clear in numerous verses. “The nations shall Know Him.”
People mock Him in word and deed. And they will be made to answer for that.

Without luck or G-d’s help, hundreds of passengers could have been killed or injured. And who claimed they did it? No other than Hamas. Not the Hamas of Gaza but the Hamas of the west bank. Different groups same garbage.It seems that they are determined to kill Jews and nothing but their own incompetence or quick and alert Jews will stop them. And what if they are arrested? After a trial and a conviction they are sentenced to prison and sit around making friends with other terrorist minded people until a call is made and they are to be traded to a group of Jews who were kidnapped and are being held in some dungeon. And they are free and ready to plant more bombs with better timing devices.
It would seem either there is a death penalty for terrorists or the best thing is to shoot to kill while attempting an arrest. That way you never have to trade a known killer or potential killer for a Jew who just was unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and was kidnapped by a group of Hamas kidnappers for the very purpose of getting other terrorists out of jail so they can kill some Jews.
They say they love death so much. Let’s see if that is really true.

I second that. The terrorist scum need to be eliminated at first sight and their families too, like they do in Muslim countries.

“Different groups same garbage.”
Yes.
ALL of the dozens and dozens of islamic terror groups are all pretty much the same.
Why they all have different names is puzzling…
somehistory says
they have ‘different names’ because in some ways, they are like the builders of the Tower of Babel. Those people wanted to “make a name for themselves.” So do mozlum terrorists. They pretend that they are closer to what the book of filth tells them to be than all of the other groups of terrorists.
there is a verse in the Bible which addresses the fact that some people will put a *name* to their property in order to show their superior status. It’s all a pride thing….and I don’t mean like the alphabetish people say ‘pride.’ But as the Bible says.
James Lincoln says
Very perceptive, somehistory.
I think that you hit on it…

Luckily nobody was killed. Israel has halted all train, bus & rail services now to do a sweep of everything else to check for explosives on them too.
Eva says
If they want ‘victory or martyrdom’, then i say give them ‘martyrdom’, and **** the world’s and the terrorist apologists whining and gnashing of teeth.
It seems like not only gaza is hamas, but the arabs in Judea and Samaria are hamas too.
I wonder if the filth responsible for this new atrocity was one of the creatures released under the ‘ceasefire’ deal?
And this on the day that hamas used two dead babies, their dead mother, and a dead elderly man in their theatre of grotesque depravity.
Nothing, and i do mean nothing, that Israel could ever do to the fakestinians would ever come close to the acts this garbage have committed and continue to commit.
Billy says
Israel should ban Islam, its Mosques, its Schools, etc. for their terrorism, discrimination, and violence against Israelis and Non-Muslims. This is life with Islam and its Muslims.
Islam and its Muslims fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, hatred, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran, and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners. Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist, Criminal Organization with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah. Under Islamic Law, Muslims are required to terrorize Non-Muslims because it is a Crime against Allah to neglect this Muslim DUTY; Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION(Quran 3:151; 9:29; Muslim Law Manual – “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more). More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:216; 4:65,89,95; 5:14; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49,88,111,123; 21:92; 49:15 and more).

Well said.

Not only Gazans, but Jihadists from Judea, Samaria and Israel proper should all also be sent to the destinations that Gazans could be sent to, be it Somalia, Libya, Western Sahara, Sudan,….
I’m keeping a tab on the potential countries they could be sent to
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
Yes.
After October 7th, NO muslims should be allowed in any part of Israel – including Gaza, Judea, and Samaria.
Vidar Haugen says
This is just one more of SO many crimes proving that Hamas and all Hamas’ activists and supporters MUST be “eliminated”! All talks about “a Palestine state” must stop immediately, and all support – verbal or economical – for that cause, must be looked upon as terrorism-support! There can be only ONE civilized country in “Palestine” – Israel! (And Gaza can be made into Israel’s “Riviera”! 😉 )
