Of those wounded, one is in critical condition and two others are seriously wounded.
Sigal Bar Zvi, the head of the police's operations division, said that the explosive charges were very powerful and of "high quality," and indicate that the attacks were masterminded by an organized cell. The devices, she added, were placed in a bush and behind a wall near the bus stop.
In the last several decades, no incidents have been as traumatic for Israelis as the bus bombings during the second intifada in the early 2000s. These were mostly suicide attacks, involving bigger, more lethal explosive devices.
No group has so far said it was behind the blasts.
