Bomb Blasts in Israel- suspected terrorist attacks

Buses in Israel are attacked using explosives.

Shocking news from Israel.
If this is confirmed as a terroist attack then these dregs of society are showing they never ever want peace.

If it’s confirmed as a terrorist attack, how cynical would it be to plant explosives on public transport while the whole nation is distracted by grieving.

I think it is a terroist attack. I'm just being careful until it's confirmed.

Well, it's an attack and people are terrified, so?

Social media seems to be split 50/50 between Terrorist Attack and False Flag.

72 hour rule, would be a perfect excuse though for the Israeli Government to annex the West Bank.

I will let the OSINT (Open-source intelligence) groups do their thing, they're currently analysing an unexploded bomb on another bus.

To be clear. I believe it is a terrorist attack. My point is the terrorists do not want peace. They want to continue to destroy.

When I first heard I'd have put it at 75 / 25 for terrorist act / false flag. My leaning towards false flag being because Terrorists don't blow up empty buses. Their barbarity is invariably targeted at humans.

Then I saw this.

23.30
"Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the Israeli military to carry out "an intensive operation against centres of terrorism" in the West Bank, the prime minister's office posted on X a short time ago."

I'm probably now 50 / 50.

How few people does it take to carry out a false flag operation ?
How's it done?
Anyone on here from Mossad or Shin Bet?
You don't have to put the answer up on here, you can just PM me. I won't tell.

Look, I'm not a fan of Netanyahu, but responding to a threat is not proof of creating the threat. That's twisted.

Certainly not proof, were it to be so I would be 0 / 100,

It's not evidence!

It's a motive.

I hope everyone is safe, including all our fellow posters in the region and their loved ones. This is awful.

Hamas &c also have motive.

So, there's that.

The fact that no one was injured suggests Israel. My reasoning being that an operation like this, if it ever came out and it had involved fatalities, the Israeli public would turn on a sixpence against those who authorised it. So, damage limitation if it gets out is to keep it with minimal injuries.
Not fact, but reasonable speculation. Still not heard from Shin Bet, they must be busy.

From the BBC report, "According to local media, one of the unexploded devices, weighing 5kg, carried a message saying, "Revenge from Tulkarem" - referring to a recent Israeli military counter-terrorism operation in the West Bank."

I agree, they do indeed, though I'm guessing it would be a splinter group or more likely a group from the west bank, or single actors. So rather than your "Hamas" I'd probably go with your "co". I would imagine that under negotiation, Hamas would try to have a tight control over their militia and not give the Israelis an obvious excuse to restart offensives.

I saw that earlier, but didn't think it held much weight.

Hamas have already broken the ceasefire agreement by not returning the body of Shiri Bibas as agreed.

I didn't suppose you would, seeing as you think responding to a threat is credible evidence for having created the threat.

Oh please,for heaven's sake, actually read and take in what I say.

I wrote earlier that it was a motive, not "credible evidence".

The endless quibbling.

This is a mind blowing post. At the end of a day of such agony, with the absolute evil of Hamas on display, with the news that Shiri Bibas has not been returned. You choose to post this.

Walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.

It seems only Israel gets accused so quickly of being the actual one behind these attacks or murders. The level of spin. It's a wonder posters who 'yes but...' are not in need of serious yoga to unknot themselves.

Well if social media says it's a false flag....
