The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) arrested two Jewish-Israeli suspects and are investigating their potential involvement in transporting the terrorists that planted bombs on buses in the Bat Yam area of central Israel on Thursday evening, Israeli media reported on Friday.
The two are also charged with attempted murder.
Shin Bet also added that it is continuing the search for additional suspects who planted explosive devices last night in three buses parked at different locations in Bat Yam and another bus in Holon, KAN added.
"At this stage, there are no conclusive findings," Shin Bet added.
Meanwhile, a security source told Walla that the events in Bat Yam and Holon are "very serious" and that a special operations squad has been established to track down the perpetrators of the bombing and rule out additional terrorist attacks.
The initial assessment from the security establishment is that the plan for the attack came from Iran, and was carried out by Hamas terrorists from the West Bank. Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) identified Iranian involvement in the West Bank by supplying weapons, training terrorists to carry out attacks, and assembling explosive devices, according to Maariv.
Bat Yam Mayor Zvika Brut told Maariv that he intends to increase security in the city, particularly around schools and other education establishments, but it is unlikely that terrorists remain in the area.
