Assistant Commissioner Haim Bublil, the commander of the Ayalon Precinct in the Tel Aviv District, spoke about the explosion in the city, which is being investigated as a terror attack, in an interview with Kan Reshet Bet.

"If the bomb would have detonated in a synagogue and not next to it there would have been dozens killed. 99% certain that it was an attack with nationalist motives," Bublil stated.
