Earlier at 7 am, the first explosion occurred at the Givat Shaul bus stop and the second explosion happened at the Ramot junction, another entrance to the city.

Meanwhile, in both scenes, the police are there and are collecting evidence and testimonials.

Taking to Twitter Israel Police tweeted, “Israel Police forces are at both scenes, collecting evidence and testimonials, and taking action to locate the suspect.”
