Security forces on Friday morning arrested a Jewish resident from Gush Dan on suspicion of transporting one of the terrorists who planted explosives on buses in Bat Yam and Holon on Thursday night. The suspect will be brought to a hearing at the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court upon the police's request to extend his detention. Last night, around 8:15 p.m., three bombs exploded in buses parked in two lots - the Begin lot and the Wolfson lot in Bat Yam. Another explosive was placed in a bus at the Wolfson lot and was neutralized by police forces called to the scene.
