Explosions reported in Israeli city of Bat Yam in what authorities say could be a 'terror attack'
Large units were dispatched to the scene to investigate the incident and search for clues and suspects.
Authorities say they're aware of at least five explosive devices that either detonated or were disabled, with all of them having timer devices.
Israeli media outlets are calling this a 'strategic terrorist attack'.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called for an emergency meeting to discuss the attack.
Police say no casualties were reported, adding that the explosions targeted empty buses. They added that nationwide searches for additional explosives were completed on trains and buses as the hunt for suspects involved continues.
'We need to determine if a single suspect placed explosives on a number of buses, or if there were multiple suspects," police spokesman Haim Sargrof told Israeli TV.
The Shin Bet internal security agency was taking over the investigation from police forces.
Authorities are urging the public to exercise caution, remain alert, report suspicious items and avoid the area until further notice.

Trump's messianic allies lead the charge against Gaza
Donald Trump has surrounded himself with the most anti-Palestinian team in the history of the United States. This administration has proven even more hostile to the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people than during Trump's first term from 2017 to 2021, due to the promotion of particularly fanatical "Christian Zionists." These messianic evangelicals are convinced that their salvation depends on the fulfillment of prophecies, which in their view means the establishment of a single Jewish state over what they consider to be the "Holy Land." While the American Jewish community can be highly critical of Benjamin Netanyahu (and in fact votes overwhelmingly Democratic), this fundamentalist movement has supported the current Israeli government unreservedly in its war against Gaza. Even before Trump's re-election, Christian Zionists lobbied Congress to intensify US military support for Israel's ground offensive in Gaza, even as they suspended aid to the Ukrainian resistance for several months in 2024. Pastor with little 'humanitarian' spirit The US president appointed his business and golf partner Steve Witkoff as special envoy to the Middle East, but he also tasked him as a personal emissary to Vladimir Putin, thereby distracting him from the Israeli-Palestinian issue. Furthermore, although a ceasefire went into effect in Gaza on January 19, on the eve of Trump's return to the White House, Witkoff failed to prevent Israel from resuming hostilities on March 2, and has not succeeded in negotiating a suspension of fighting since. These repeated failures by Trump's main Jewish adviser have left the field open to Christian Zionists whose messianic convictions align them more closely with Netanyahu's supremacist allies than with the Israeli prime minister himself. Pete Hegseth, who Trump managed to install at the head of the Pentagon, previously invoked "the miracle of the re-establishment of the temple," echoing Israeli messianic figures who dream of destroying Muslim holy sites in the occupied part of Jerusalem to build the Third Jewish Temple on top of the ruins.

France shuts five Israeli booths at Paris Air Show for showcasing 'offensive weapons'
Geopolitical tensions roiled the opening of the Paris Air Show on Monday, June 16, as French authorities sealed off Israeli weapons industry booths amid the conflicts in Iran and Gaza, a move that Israel condemned as "outrageous." The decision added drama to the major aerospace industry event, which was already under the shadow of l ast week's deadly crash of Air India's Boeing 787 Dreamliner. A journalist from Le Monde, who was present at the event, saw that the stands of exhibitors Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Rafael, UVision, Elbit, and Aeronautics had been surrounded by black partitions and were no longer accessible. According to the authorities, "offensive" weapons, such as those that could be used in the Gaza Strip, were displayed, in violation of the framework agreed in advance with the Israeli authorities. Rafael, Elbit, and IAI produce guided bombs and missiles, while UVision and Aeronautics produce drones. "From the outset, we have provided a clear framework, which has been shared with the Israelis," the French Foreign Ministry told Agence France-Presse. "Namely: the prohibition of exhibiting offensive weapons at the Paris Air Show. The Israeli embassy in Paris has agreed to this." French Prime Minister François Bayrou defended the decision during a Monday press conference at the air show. "The French government's position was very simple: no offensive weapons at the arms exposition," he said. "Defensive weapons were perfectly acceptable," he added. Bayrou cited the ongoing conflict in Gaza as the rationale behind the ban. "Given the situation in Gaza (...) which is extremely serious from a humanitarian and security point of view, France was keen to make it clear that offensive weapons should not be present at this exposition," Bayrou said. Conflicts loom large Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he was shocked by the "outrageous" closure of the pavilions and said the situation should be "immediately corrected." "Israeli companies have signed contracts with the organizers... it's like creating an Israeli ghetto," he said on French television channel LCI. The Israeli defense ministry said in a statement that the "outrageous and unprecedented decision reeks of policy-driven and commercial considerations." An Israeli exhibitor wrote a message in yellow chalk on one of the walls, saying the hidden defense systems "are protecting the state of Israel these days. The French government, in the name of discrimination, is trying to hide them from you!" The presence of Israeli firms at Le Bourget, though smaller than in the past, was already a source of tension before the start of the Paris Air Show, because of the conflict in Gaza. A French court last week rejected a bid by NGOs to ban Israeli companies from Le Bourget over concerns about "international crimes." Local lawmakers from the Seine-Saint-Denis department hosting the event were absent during Bayrou's visit to the opening of the air show in protest over the Israeli presence. "Never has the world been so disrupted and destabilized," Bayrou said earlier at a round-table event, urging nations to tackle challenges "together, not against each other."

India and Cyprus to boost defence and maritime cooperation, Modi says
India will strengthen its defence partnership with Cyprus through expanded collaboration between their defence sectors, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Monday during a state visit to the island nation — the first by an Indian premier in over two decades. Modi, following talks with the president of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, stated that bilateral cooperation in maritime security and cybersecurity would be intensified, although he did not elaborate on specifics. The two nations also agreed to establish an information-sharing framework aimed at countering terrorism. In a joint statement, both leaders pledged to enhance maritime cooperation, including more frequent Indian naval visits to Cypriot ports and the exploration of joint training and search-and-rescue operations. Highlighting the strategic importance of Cyprus in the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC), Modi said the initiative could foster 'peace and prosperity in the Middle East.' The corridor aims to enhance trade, energy, and digital connectivity, positioning Cyprus as a key hub due to its proximity to India and the Middle East. Christodoulides described Cyprus as India's 'gateway into Europe,' offering a base for Indian firms looking to expand westward. He committed to backing key infrastructure initiatives like IMEC and noted that deepening India-EU ties — including progress on a free trade agreement — would be a priority during Cyprus's EU presidency in the first half of 2026. Modi hailed the visit as the beginning of a 'new era' in India-Cyprus relations, rooted in long-standing ties and mutual values. Both countries, once British colonies, share a history of cooperation through the Non-Aligned Movement, having remained independent of Cold War allegiances. As Israel and Iran exchange fire for the fourth consecutive day, unverified footage of missile and drone attacks targeted at both countries is spreading virally online. Euronews' fact-checking and verification team, Euroverify, has been taking a closer look at some of those videos in order to verify their authenticity and corroborate the location of strikes. Verifying such footage is crucial in this conflict. It allows us to debunk false reports and ensure the footage used in our reporting is authentic. Videos generated using artificial intelligence and falsely claiming to show Israeli and Iranian strikes are spreading virally online. This video, which has garnered hundreds of thousands of views on TikTok, claims to show destruction caused by Israeli airstrikes on Iran. But our analysis shows that the video has been clearly generated using AI. A closer look reveals that artificial-looking rays are emanating from one of the cooling towers. A fire truck can also be seen on the precipice of a crater while some of the emergency workers seem to disappear into thin air. Other AI-generated videos spreading virally claim to show damage caused to Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport by an Iranian strike. Euroverify detected several versions of the videos circulating on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and X. But the video is clearly the work of AI, and is being shared widely by known disinformation accounts. While Iran's semi-official state media Mehr has reported that Iranian strikes struck Ben Gurion airport in Israel's largest city on Sunday, those reports have not been verified. We also detected online users falsely linking old videos of unrelated events to the current strikes. A video showing what appears to be a residential building engulfed in flames was shared by Al Jazeera's Arabic profile on X, with the caption: 'Massive fires in Tel Aviv sites as a result of the Iranian missile attack.' But a reverse image search shows that the same video was first circulating online in early May, meaning it cannot show damage caused by the current exchange of fire. A Facebook user shared the video on 10 May, claiming it shows the impact of an airstrike of fire between India and Pakistan. A brief but intense exchange of fire between those two countries took place from 7 to 10 May, but we were unable to verify whether the video in question shows damage resulting from those attacks. Another widely shared image claims to show an explosion at an Iranian oil refinery caused by an Israeli strike. We used a reverse image search to find that the picture in fact comes from a video showing a November 2020 explosion at a petrochemical plant in Ilam, Iran. The explosion was widely covered by Iranian media, and has no link to the ongoing conflict between Tehran and Tel Aviv. Israeli strikes have nonetheless struck key energy infrastructure including the South Pars gas field in southern Iran and the Shahran oil depot in Tehran.
