Three buses explode in Israel in 'suspected terror attack', police say

Three buses have exploded in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv, in what Israeli police say is a "suspected terror attack".

Devices in two other buses failed to explode, they said, adding that "large police forces are at the scenes, searching for suspects".

Transport Minister Miri Regev paused all buses, trains and light rail trains in the country so that checks for explosive devices could be carried out, Israeli media reports said.

Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israeli military to carry out "an intensive operation against centres of terrorism" in the West Bank, the prime minister's office posted on X.

There have been no reports of casualties at this stage, police said.
