Something scary happened in a city called Bat Yam in Israel. Three buses that had no people inside them blew up. The police think this was a "suspected terror attack." It happened at night when the buses were parked. Luckily, no one got hurt.
The police found two more buses with devices on them. These devices were supposed to explode, but they didn't work right. Some people said one of these buses had a message on it. The message talked about "revenge" for something that happened in a place called a refugee camp in the West Bank.
The person in charge of Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told the Israeli military to do something. He wants them to go to the West Bank and stop the "centers of terrorism."
People took videos of what happened and put them on the internet. In the videos, you can see at least one bus on fire and a big cloud of smoke rising into the sky.
A police officer named Aryeh Doron went on TV. He told everyone to be careful. He said people should watch out for "every suspected bag or object." He thinks the terrorists might have set the timers on the bombs to the wrong time.
Another police officer named Haim Sargarof also talked on TV. He said the devices that made the buses explode are like the ones they've seen before in the West Bank. The Israeli military has been going to the West Bank a lot lately. They are trying to find militants there.
One of the devices that didn't explode was pretty big. It weighed 5kg (11lbs). People said it had a message on it. The message said, "Revenge from Tulkarm". Tulkarm is a place in the West Bank where the Israeli military recently went to a refugee camp.
After the buses blew up, a group called the Tulkarm Brigade said something. They said, "Revenge for the martyrs will not be forgotten as long as the occupier sits on our land." This group didn't say they did the attack, but they seemed to like that it happened.
The Israeli military has been very busy in the West Bank. They have been going there a lot, especially to places called Tulkarm and Jenin in the north. They are looking for Palestinian militant groups. Many Palestinians have died because the Israeli forces are going into the West Bank so much.
