The situation prompted immediate measures, including a directive from Transportation Minister Miri Regev to halt all train services in Bat Yam. The Israeli military radio also instructed all bus drivers in the area to stop their vehicles, open the doors, and conduct security checks.

Reports suggest that the attacks were part of a broader operation. Reportedly, security sources told Israel Hayom that 15 buses were set to explode in the Gush Dan region, along with five Feda'i bombings on the light rail system. 

Something interesting is going on in Israel - 2 busses exploded at the same time near Tel Aviv, they were in a parking lot and no passengers were on board.

Now a third bus exploded.
