At least six suspects were arrested in the joint operation between the Shin Bet, IDF and police.

Findings of a Shin Bet investigation revealed that the suspects had manufactured and assembled the explosive device that detonated in the April attack on a Line 12 in the capital bus that left 19 people wounded.

The case was transferred to the IDF prosecution, and a request to extend the suspects' detention until the end of legal proceedings was expected to be filed in the coming days.
