In Jerusalem, seven bombs exploded behind the walls of the headquarters of the Immigration Department. One of the walls was damaged and windows of houses in the neighborhood were shattered by the explosion.
In Haifa the building where the Immigration Office is located was wrecked by the blast. In Tel Aviv the explosions caused slight damages to the building of the Immigration Office.
