C’est peu après 15h qu’une forte explosion a été entendue à coté de la gare de bus de Jérusalem, du coté de Binyane Hauma. Un colis aurait explosé aux abords d’une des stations de bus au passage d’un bus de la ligne 74. Les secours sont arrivés très vite sur place et ont aidé les nombreux blessés. Le dernier bilan fait état de 31 blessés dont plusieurs dans un état grave. Ils ont été transportés dans les hôpitaux de la ville, Hadassah Ein Kerem et Shaare Tsedek. Le premier ministre Benjamin Netanyahu a décidé de retarder son voyage en Russie pour se rendre sur place. C’est le premier attentat dans un autobus depuis 2004. Voici les 1eres photos.
