Three buses exploded near Tel Aviv and bombs were found on two others on Thursday night in what is being investigated as a coordinated attack. All of the explosions occurred in parked, empty buses across the central city of Bat Yam, located just south of Tel Aviv. There were no injuries, per the Israel Police, which said that Danny Levy, the police commissioner, was on site where one of the explosions took place.
