Israel blames Palestinian militants for bus bombings in Bat Yam suburb

Israeli security services have blamed Palestinian militant groups for a coordinated bus bombing in Bat Yam, a suburb of Tel Aviv. Three buses were destroyed, and a fourth bomb was defused, but no injuries were reported. In response, Israel's Defense Minister ordered increased military operations in Palestinian refugee camps, particularly in Tulkarem. The bombings are reminiscent of past conflicts, raising concerns about a potential escalation of violence. No group has claimed responsibility, but Hamas's military wing vowed to seek vengeance for Palestinians killed in Israeli operations. The attacks highlight ongoing tensions amid a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
