Iran believed to be behind central Israel bus bombings, initial security assessment finds
The Jerusalem Post ^ | February 21, 2025 | KESHET NEEV, JERUSALEM POST STAFF

Several buses exploded in various locations across central Israel on Thursday evening in a planned mass terror bombing attempt. At least three bombs exploded buses in the area of Bat Yam, Israel Police said.

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.

Iran also transferred large amounts of money to terror cells in West Bank, Maariv added.

The bombs were set to explode at "around 9 or 10am, but were set incorrectly," according to Maariv, and were composed of non-standard explosive material, including fertilizer and urea.

According to Amir Tsarfati, this was part of a larger plan to invade northern Israel and do another terror attack and replenish their supply of hostages to negotiate with.

He’s unsure how long this update will be allowed to stay up because of you-tube “community guidelines” IOW, censorship.

The official word is that there are no living hostages left.

If that’s the case, while I can appreciate their desire to retrieve the remains of the remaining hostages, at some point, they need to say all bets are off the table and it’s unleash hell on them time.

And when you see the civilian population celebrating and participating in these atrocities, , well, not just the imams, IMO.

I have a feeling that it’s only a matter of time.
Families want hostages….dead or alive.
After that-annihilation on several fronts.
Including in the Congo where 70 Christians have been beheaded by ISIS in church.

The ‘no living hostages left’ refers to the First Phase list of 33 or 36 hostages first to be released. There are another 35 or so IDF hostages alive supposedly to be released in the upcoming Second Phase. Two of them were on Hamas video today.

No. The only information I know is from Amir at the link provided.

The MSM certainly isn’t going to cover it.

I see.

I thought it meant none left alive at all.

Well, I think that is what Netanyahu seemed to hint at.

The penalty for planning needs to be the same as doing it.

" Iran believed to be behind central Israel bus bombings, initial security assessment finds"

I don't believe it. They're not that stupid. This was a mere pinprick but the Iranians are well aware that if the Israelis think the Iranians were behind it, the retaliation will be anything but minor, especially with Hamas and Hezbollah neutralized.

The attack isn't destabilizing to the Netanyahu government so it accomplishes nothing, but the cost to Iran will not be minor.

Like the October 7th attack where the Israeli Defense Force stood down and ate donuts for 8 hours to allow as much mayhem as possible before responding, the bus attack appears to be a staged event on empty buses. See Larry Johnson on the Judge Napolitano show explaining.

This is an invitation for Israel to use US bunker busters on Iran’s Nuke program and to destroy the Iranian government.
