Israel’s Minister of Defense said Friday that he ordered the country’s army to increase his operation in the West Bank occupied by Israel after a series of bus explosions near Tel Aviv the previous day.

Defense Minister Israel Katz described the explosions in three buses in the center of Israel, a “terrorist attack.” No injuries were reported.

When visiting the Tulkarem refugee camp, a militant fortress, Katz said he had told the troops to “intensify their activities” until “terrorism is defeated.”

“I want to convey a clear message from here to the terrorists and their senders: the serious attempt of yesterday’s attacks against a civilian population will not deter us,” he said.

On Friday, an Israeli court imposed a gag order on the report of any detail related to the investigation or information that could reveal the identities of the suspects in the bus bombings on Thursday.

A group that identified itself as a branch of the Military Wing of Hamas, the Qassam Brigades, of the Tulkarem city of Tulkarem, did not assume the responsibility of the attack on Thursday, but published in the Telegram messaging application: “We will never forget to take revenge of our martyrs whenever the occupation is in our lands. “

Hamas says that “will carry out an exhaustive review” of the Israeli statements that a body delivered on Thursday, since part of a high fire agreement was not that of Israeli hostages Shiri Bibas.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has promised revenge for what he described as a “cruel and malicious violation” of the high fire agreement after the forensic tests showed one of the four bodies delivered as part of the high fire was of a woman Palestine not identified instead of Bibas. The other three remains were identified as those of the two young children of Bibas, and Oded Lifshitz, who was 83 years old when he was kidnapped.

“We have demonstrated the full fulfillment of the agreement in recent days and continue committed to all its terms,” ​​said Hamas.

Hamas suggested that a possible confusion of remains could have occurred due to the Israeli bombing of the place where Bibas and their children Kfir and Ariel were retained and where Palestinians were present. The militants have long kept the mother and her children killed in Israeli bombings.

“We reject Netanyahu’s threats, which only serve to manipulate Israeli public opinion,” said Hamas, asking the mediators to guarantee the continuous implementation of Alto El Fuego. The group also requested the return of unidentified remains, what Israel has said that it is that of a Palestinian woman.
