- The twin blast killed a 16-year-old boy and injured at least 14 other people.
- The devices were hidden in bags and appeared to have been detonated remotely by mobile phone.
- Jerusalem has not had such a coordinated attack for many years.
Two bombs exploded at bus stops on Jerusalem's outskirts on Wednesday, killing a 16-year-old boy and wounding at least 14 other people in what appeared to be an attack by Palestinian militants, Israeli authorities said.
Police blamed the initial blast, during morning rush hour, on an improvised bomb planted near the city exit. The second - some 30 minutes later - hit a junction leading to an outlying settlement.
"There has not been such a coordinated attack in Jerusalem for many years," police spokesman Eli Levi told Army Radio.
The devices were hidden in bags, packed with nails and appeared to have been detonated remotely by mobile phone, Kan Radio said.
CCTV footage showed the moment of the first explosion with a sudden cloud of smoke billowing from the bus stop. The site, cordoned off by emergency services, was strewn with debris.
Ambulance services said 12 people were taken to hospital from the first blast and three were wounded in the second. A 16-year-old Canadian-Israeli national succumbed to his injuries.
The United Nations, the European Union, United States and Canada condemned the attacks.
"Terrorism is a dead-end that accomplishes absolutely nothing," the US Embassy said on Twitter.
Benjamin Netanyahu, now negotiating with allies from religious and right-wing parties to form a new government after elections, said he would do everything to restore security.
"We still have a battle against terror that has lifted its head again," the veteran former prime minister told reporters.
In Gaza, a spokesman for Palestinian militant group Hamas praised the Jerusalem explosions but stopped short of claiming responsibility. Abdel-Latif Al-Qanoua linked the blasts to "crimes conducted by the Occupation (Israel) and the settlers".
The explosions, which echoed the bus bombings that were a hallmark of the Palestinian uprising of 2000-05, follow months of rising tension in the occupied West Bank after Israel launched a crackdown in response to deadly Palestinian attacks in its cities.
The coordinated blasts appeared to be a step up from a string of mostly Palestinian lone-wolf stabbing, shooting and car-ramming attacks this year.
Ultra-nationalist Israeli lawmaker Itamar Ben-Gvir, one of Netanyahu's likely coalition partners, demanded tough action, saying security forces should go "house to house in search of guns and restore our deterrence power."
Separately, Palestinian gunmen late on Tuesday seized the body of an Israeli Druze high school student from a Palestinian hospital in the West Bank city of Jenin following a car crash nearby, the teenager's uncle told Reuters.
The Druze are an Arab community in Israel who serve in its armed forces. The youth's father and some Israeli officials said the gunmen took him off life support before carrying him away. Reuters was not immediately able to confirm his condition.
Their reasons for the seizure were unclear. But families of slain Palestinian militants whose remains are in Israeli custody called for an exchange of corpses.
A diplomat source told Reuters the United Nations was mediating over the release of the teenager's body and Israeli military said it expected that would happen soon.
