Shin Bet Arrests Two Israelis Suspected of Involvement in Tel Aviv Suburbs Bus Bombs

The two suspects were detained following the Shin Bet's initial investigation into the incident which occurred on Thursday night in Bat Yam and Holon

Two Israelis were arrested overnight into Friday on suspicion of involvement in the explosions that took place on empty buses in two Tel Aviv suburbs.

The two suspects have been transferred to the Shin Bet security agency for interrogation, though a court has issued a gag order on further details of the affair.

On Thursday night, three explosive devices were set off on buses in Bat Yam and an additional device was found before it detonated in the nearby city of Holon. No casualties were reported. The Israeli army announced that three battalions will be transferred to the West Bank as reinforcements.

Police believe the explosive devices, which weigh less than five kilograms (roughly 11 pounds), were meant to detonate on Friday morning and not on Thursday night.

Bags with Arabic-language writing were found on some of the buses. A police source said that the Arabic writing on one of the bags containing an explosive device said "attack" and "Tul Karm."

The Tul Karm Brigade published a statement Thursday night following the bus explosions: "Revenge for the martyrs will not be forgotten as long as the occupier sits on our land."

Haim Sargrof, Commander of Israel Police's Tel Aviv District, said the explosive devices had timers, much like the ones used in the West Bank. Sargrof further placed blame for the incident on the Shin Bet: "Let's get things straight.. the army stops [terrorists'] entrance [to Israel], the Shin Bet works to prevent attacks and the police [are involved when attacks] happen, and [police] try to take care of the suspects as quickly as possible. How did this happen? Ask the Shin Bet."

Hamas freed six hostages from Gaza on Saturday, the last living Israeli captives slated for release under the first phase of a fragile ceasefire accord, in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

The six are the last living hostages from a group of 33 due to be freed in the first stage of the three-phase ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas that took effect on January 19. Sixty-three more captives, less than half of whom are believed to be alive, remain in Gaza.

In return for the hostages, Israel is expected to release 602 Palestinian prisoners and detainees held in its jails.

They will include 445 Gazans rounded up by Israeli forces during the war, as well as dozens of convicts serving lengthy or life terms for attacks that killed dozens of Israelis in the Palestinian uprising two decades ago.

Both sides have said they intend to start talks on a second stage, which mediators say aims to agree the return of all remaining hostages and the full withdrawal of Israeli troops.

I heard on the radio news that the Israelis said one of the corpses Hamas "returned" was not the woman they claimed it was.

"That's not gramma!" wailed a distressed Israeli boy.

"Gramma, schmamma," replied his grandfather. "Dead is dead."
