Israeli police said the bombing that took place Sunday evening in Tel Aviv was a "hostile operation" and that the perpetrator had apparently arrived from the Nablus area in the West Bank.

In turn, Israeli Channel 12 said that the Israeli Internal Security Service (Shabak) is conducting investigations into the background of the Tel Aviv attacker and how he arrived in the city.

According to the Israeli police, the truck explosion in southern Tel Aviv was caused by an explosive device.

Israeli reports stated that the person who was killed was carrying an explosive device that he tried to plant near or on the truck, and the bomb exploded on him, killing him instantly.
