The Shin Bet is involved in investigating the unusual incident tonight in Bat Yam: simultaneous explosions on two buses in parking lots in the city, with no passengers and no casualties.

Initial report: An explosive device exploded on an empty bus in a parking lot in Bat Yam. Police were called to the scene and are investigating the possibility of another device on another bus.

Background: In the investigation, there is a reasonable possibility that this was an attempted suicide attack or bus bombings on public buses.
