Israel has narrowly avoided mass carnage after three empty buses exploded into fireballs on Thursday night, with officials warning the blazes could have been fatal but detonators' timers had been set for the wrong time.
Shocking footage shows smoke rising into the sky while fire leaps from the vehicles, with snaps of the aftermath showing the charred remains.
Israeli forces quickly labelled the horror, which unfolded around 9pm local time, a 'suspected terror attack' as more bombs were found on other buses.
Police are investigating the explosion adding 'large forces are at the scenes, searching for suspects'.
A defence official has stated incendiary devices were accidentally set for 9pm instead of 9am.
A spokesman said: 'These are identical explosive devices with a timer. Three have detonated, and two additional ones have been located and are currently being neutralised.'
Hamas's Tulkarm battalion has reportedly hinted at responsibility for the explosions.
