A loud explosion was heard this morning (Wednesday) on Haharuv Street in Jaffa, after a fragmentation grenade was allegedly thrown at the vehicle of a person well known to the police. The explosion caused damage to the vehicle, but no injuries were reported. Officers from the Jaffa police station and bomb disposal experts from the Tel Aviv district were called to the scene and began collecting evidence. A preliminary investigation raises suspicion that the incident has a criminal background. Police are examining the circumstances of the grenade throwing and the identity of those involved. In recent months, a series of similar incidents have been recorded in the central region, including the throwing of fragmentation and stun grenades at residential buildings and vehicles. However, at this stage, there is no indication of a connection between the Jaffa incident and previous events.
