Tel Aviv, Israel – Israeli law enforcement officials have arrested a citizen of Israel who is suspected of helping one of the terrorists cross the border illegally. This terrorist is likely to be involved in the recent explosions in Bat Yam and Holon, where explosive devices were planted in passenger buses. This was reported by the Voice of Israel Telegram channel .
Details of the incident
According to the investigation, the attacks in Bat Yam and Holon were planned in advance. Explosive devices were planted in public transport during rush hour to cause maximum casualties. Thanks to the prompt actions of the security services, mass casualties were avoided, but several passengers were injured.
The arrest of the suspect was the first significant breakthrough in the investigation. He is suspected of facilitating the illegal crossing of the border by one of the terrorists responsible for planting the bombs. According to sources, the suspect is an Israeli citizen, which complicates the investigation and raises concerns about possible internal threats.
Terrorists remain at large
Despite the arrest, the main suspects – the terrorists who directly planted the explosives – are still at large. Israeli security services are conducting a large-scale operation to search for the attackers, using drones, helicopters and ground patrols.
Law enforcers urge citizens to be vigilant and report suspicious persons or objects left in public places.
Official reaction
Israel’s Minister of Internal Security said that the government is taking all possible measures to arrest the terrorists as soon as possible.
“We will not stop until all those involved in this terrorist attack are brought to justice. The safety of our citizens is our top priority,” theminister stressed.
