The Israeli military has announced that it is investigating an explosion that occurred in Tel Aviv on Thursday evening. The explosion, which took place near a bus stop in the city’s Ramat Gan neighborhood, left at least one person injured.
Initial reports suggest that the explosion may have been caused by a gas leak, but the military has not ruled out the possibility of a deliberate attack. The injured individual was taken to the hospital for treatment, and their condition is currently unknown.
In a statement, the Israeli military said that it is taking the incident very seriously and is working to determine the cause of the explosion. “We are investigating all possibilities, including the possibility of a terrorist attack,” the statement read.
The explosion comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with ongoing violence between Israel and Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli military has been conducting airstrikes in Gaza in response to rocket attacks from Hamas and other groups.
It is unclear at this time if the explosion in Tel Aviv is connected to the violence in Gaza, but the Israeli military is not ruling out any possibilities. The incident serves as a reminder of the fragile security situation in the region and the constant threat of violence.
Residents of Tel Aviv are being urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities. The military is urging people to stay away from the area where the explosion occurred as they continue their investigation.
As more information becomes available, the Israeli military will provide updates on the situation. In the meantime, residents of Tel Aviv are being asked to stay safe and alert as the investigation into the explosion continues.
