Israel Imposes Publication Ban on Tel Aviv Explosion Probe After Arresting Two Israeli Suspects
Occupied Palestine (Quds News Network)- Israeli authorities have imposed a three-week publication ban on details related to Thursday’s bus explosions in Tel Aviv. The ban follows the arrest of two Jewish Israelis suspected of involvement in the incident.
On Thursday, three buses exploded in the settlements of Holon and Bat Yam, causing widespread panic. Israeli security forces launched an immediate investigation and arrested several suspects.
The court extended the detention of one Israeli suspect by ten days. Authorities have also barred him from meeting his lawyer. The search for additional suspects and accomplices is still ongoing.
The lawyer of one of the suspects rejected the accusations. He described his client as someone who “loves the Land of Israel and its people.”
Yesterday, explosions rocked three buses at a parking lot in Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv. Analysts question the timing and nature of the explosions. Speaking to AlJazeera, Israeli affairs expert Ihab Jabbarin pointed to the rapid conclusion that the attack had nationalist motives, raising concerns about who benefits from such an incident. He recalled similar bombings in the past that were never claimed by any group but were used as justification for military actions.
Security expert Elias Hanna also pointed out inconsistencies. He questioned why explosives meant to detonate would have messages written in Arabic and Hebrew, particularly with spelling mistakes. This detail raises doubts about the authenticity of the operation, according to Hanna.
