"state of alert" following two explosions in West Jerusalem today, as
it anticipates potential Israeli military action on the besieged
territory in response to the incident.</p>
<p>Two separate <a href="https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20221123-cctv-captures-bus-blast-in-jerusalem/">explosions</a>
occurred half an hour from each other early this morning at a bus
station in West Jerusalem, killing an Israeli teen and wounding at least
22 others. No group claimed responsibility for the attacks.</p>
<p>According to a fighter within the Palestinian Resistance group, Hamas, who spoke to the London-based news outlet, <i>The New Arab</i>,
the Resistance in the besieged coastal enclave "adopted unprecedented
security measures, as well as summoned all the fighters to be ready for
any emergency".</p>
<p>Although it has not received any information confirming that "the
Israeli enemy will attack Gaza", the fighter stressed that "the
developments on the ground push us to be ready for any Israeli folly
that might be committed against our people".</p>

<p>With Hamas having placed its personnel on alert, he reiterated that
"the Resistance is ready to involve in a new large-scale war with
Israel" in the case of a new Israeli bombardment on the Strip.</p>
<p>Despite not claiming responsibility for the explosions, a Hamas
spokesperson hailed them as "heroic operations" and insisted they "came
as a natural response to the endless Israeli crimes and violations in
Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa Mosque Compound and the Occupied West Bank."</p>
<p>The group, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), also stated in response
that "the Palestinian people possess a strong will and are ready to do
anything in order to protect their land and sanctities." In a statement
to the press, the PIJ's spokesman, Daoud Shehab, said Palestinians "will
not stand idly by before the formation of a new government coalition
that places settlement, Judaisation, and aggression on the top of its
priorities, and strives to devour what is left of the Palestinian land."</p>
<p>As for Israeli authorities, they reportedly suspect that a militant
cell in East Jerusalem carried out the attack. Israeli outlets and
security officials, on the other hand, believe Hamas was behind the
funding and implementation of the explosions.</p>
