Police said that this was the first terrorist attack in four years that involved an explosion. Police were looking for one specific person who left the bag that contained the bomb. There were reports that witnesses were able to identify the man who left the bag and police were searching for him. Police suspected that an explosive device inside a bag was left at the bus stop, which then exploded.
Interior Minister Eli Yishai called for Israel to actafter the bombing in Jerusalem and the rocket attacks in the south. "I see the escalation is already here in a number of fronts - in the South and also in Jerusalem," Yishai said, while visiting the scene of the explosion. He added that "recent events require us to take action. If we don't do this we will lose our power of deterrence."
