DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. April 18, 2016, 9:04 PM (IDT)
The Jerusalem district police commander, Deputy Commisioner Yoram Halevy, confirmed Monday evening that the explosion on a city bus several hours earlier was a terrorist attack. The blast on the bus that had stopped on Moshe Baram street also hit another bus that was next to it at the time. Halevy said “a large wave of attacks is ahead of us”, adding that there are initial reports that terrorist organizations have taken responsibility for the bombing. Emergency services evacuated 20 people from the scene of the attack, with two seriously wounded, seven moderately wounded and the rest traumatized or suffering minor injuries.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
