Israeli security agency Shin Bet has reportedly arrested three suspects, including at least one Jewish Israeli, suspected of driving "apparent terrorists" who set off three bombs on buses in the Tel Aviv suburbs on Thursday.
No casualties were reported, as the buses were parked and empty after finishing their routes.
Hebrew media outlets reported that the arrested Jewish Israeli suspect will be brought for a remand hearing on Friday.
It was also reported by several Israel-based news outlets that some of the detainees were identified as Jewish Israelis.
Haaretz quoted a police source as saying that the explosive devices were meant to detonate on Friday morning, and bags with Arabic-language writing were found on some of the buses.
Arabic writing on one of the bags containing an explosive device said "attack" and "Tul Karm."
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was quick to pull the guns in jiffy and blame Palestinians in the occupied West Bank for the blasts.
Netanyahu immediately asked his military to intensify its offensive in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz also said he had ordered the military to step up its attacks across the occupied West Bank.
Three additional Israeli military battalions were rushed to the occupied West Bank on Friday morning.
"We will hunt down the terrorists relentlessly and dismantle the terror infrastructure that serves as an outpost for Iran’s axis of evil. Any residents who harbour terrorists will pay a heavy price," said Katz.
The order to intensify attacks in the occupied West Bank after the discovery of alleged Arabic text in a bus has raised questions as Shin Bet investigates Israeli citizens for the bus bombings.
The Shin Bet has reportedly declined to comment on the ongoing investigation.
