At least one person was killed and 19 wounded in two explosions in bus stops at separate entrances to Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, in what police are treating as a coordinated double terror attack.

 

The fatality was identified as 16-year-old Aryeh Shechopek, who was on his way to a yeshiva in a nearby community when the explosion occurred. 

 

Both explosions, one at the entrance to the city near the Central Bus Station

 

The first explosion, which happened shortly after 7 a.m. in Givat Shaul, injured 15 people, including two critically and another four seriously.  Magen David Adom said that 12 people were transported to hospitals across the city for medical treatment.

The bombs were detonated remotely and were reportedly packed with nails and bolts to maximum casualties.

The second explosion near the Ramot Intersection in northern Jerusalem took place several moments after the initial explosion. Three people were lightly injured in that attack. It is suspected that this is a combined terror attack,” the police said in a statement. Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai   said that every bus in Jerusalem will be searched by police officers and all of the bomb-sniffing dogs in Israel will be activated to search for explosive devices. He added that police are investigating whether or not there was more than one terrorist involved in either attack.

"The goal is to prevent the next explosion," he said. 

Though no group has taken responsibility for the attack, Hamas praised it with its spokesperson

Netanyahu visited several of the wounded people in Shaare Zedek Medical Center on Wednesday afternoon.

Bombaški napadi u Jeruzalemu: Tinejdžer ubijen, 19 ranjeno

Najmanje jedna osoba je ubijena, a 19 ranjeno u dvije eksplozije na autobusnim stanicama na odvojenim ulazima u Jeruzalem u srijedu ujutro, što policija tretira kao koordinirani dvostruki teroristički napad.

Poginuo je  16-godišnji Aryeh Shechopek, koji je bio na putu za ješivu u obližnjoj zajednici kada je došlo do eksplozije. 

U prvoj eksploziji, koja se dogodila nešto poslije 7 sati ujutro u Givat Shaulu, ozlijeđeno je 15 osoba, među kojima dvije kritično, a još četiri teško.  Magen David Adom rekao je da je 12 ljudi prevezeno u bolnice diljem grada na liječenje.

Bombe su detonirane daljinski i  bile su  pune čavlima i vijcima kako bi bile najveće žrtve.  Druga eksplozija u blizini križanja Ramot u sjevernom Jeruzalemu dogodila se nekoliko trenutaka nakon prve eksplozije. U tom su napadu tri osobe lakše ozlijeđene.

Sumnja se da se radi o kombiniranom terorističkom napadu”, stoji u priopćenju policije. 

Policijski komesar Kobi Shabtai  je rekao da će svaki autobus u Jeruzalemu pretražiti policija i da će svi psi dresirani  da njuše bombe  biti aktivirani u potrazi za eksplozivnim napravama. 

"Cilj je spriječiti sljedeću eksploziju", rekao je. "To znači izvlačenje svih snaga, ne samo ovdje, nego i na druga područja.

Iako nijedna grupa nije preuzela odgovornost za napad, Hamas ga je pohvalio sa svojim glasnogovornikom

Netanyahu je u srijedu poslijepodne posjetio nekoliko ranjenih ljudi u medicinskom centru Shaare Zedek.

Obraćajući se novinarima na kraju svog posjeta rekao je: "Mislim da govorim u ime većine naroda Izraela, koji se svi mole za potpuni oporavak ranjenih. Mi smo u borbi protiv nemilosrdnog terora, koji je na ponovnom usponu i učinit ćemo sve što možemo kako bismo svim Izraelcima vratili puni osjećaj sigurnosti."
