Israel intensifies West Bank operations after bus blasts

On Thursday evening, explosions from multiple bombs on empty buses occurred in Bat Yam, Israel, prompting Defence Minister Israel Katz to order intensified military operations in the West Bank. The police reported that three bombs detonated while two others were defused, with no injuries reported. Katz attributed the attacks to Palestinian terrorist organizations and directed the military to focus on refugee camps in the region. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also convened an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the situation. As tensions rise, a ceasefire in Gaza remains fragile, with the recent violence escalating concerns about security in Israel. The investigation into the blasts is ongoing, with police advising the public to remain vigilant.
