Three buses exploded near Tel Aviv and bombs were found on two others on Thursday night in what is being investigated as a coordinated attack.

All of the explosions occurred in parked, empty buses across the central city of Bat Yam, located just south of Tel Aviv. There were no injuries, per the Israel Police, which said that Danny Levy, the police commissioner, was on site where one of the explosions took place.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was “receiving regular updates from his military secretary on the explosive device incident in Gush Dan and will shortly hold a security situation assessment.”

At least one of the bombs bore a note, in Arabic and Hebrew, that stated “revenge from the Tulkarem refugee camp.” Five explosive devices, all with timers set to go off simultaneously, were found.

The IDF deployed three additional battalions on Friday morning to reinforce the Judea and Samaria region following the terrorist attacks in Bat Yam. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called an urgent security consultation on Thursday night after the coordinated attacks in the Tel Aviv metropolitan area. Fortunately, there were no victims. Two additional explosive devices were discovered in Bat Yam and Holon.

Dear Cuban Hebrew Community,

It is always good to make new friends, and for acquaintances to become friends too. For various reasons we find ourselves single later in our lives. Good friends can fill a void we may feel from time to time. There are new people coming into our community all the time. We are a warm and welcoming Temple. But it is not easy to make friends. We are looking to restart a social group for single seniors members. To be real chevra, a group of friends who value each other’s company, we need to find activities we want to share, and good times to meet. 

So here is an informal survey, please respond. (contact@cubanhebrew.com) We can have a relaxed meet –up at the temple for those who are interested to begin.

- Do you prefer to meet during the day, evening or either is good?

- Meet for coffee, lunch, dinner – any preference?

- Outings –movies, theater trips, museum trips – club with live music?

- Classes – art, music, dance, yoga?
