Gun and Ammunition Explode in Ashdod Oven During Pizza Preparation
An unusual incident occurred in Ashdod when a handgun and ammunition, hidden inside an oven, exploded while a woman was preparing pizza. The 23-year-old resident had placed his personal firearm in the oven without his wife's knowledge. When she turned on the oven to cook, the heat caused the gun and its ammunition to detonate.
The explosions, mistaken for gunfire, caused alarm, prompting police to respond to the scene. Officers from the Ashdod station investigated the sounds and circumstances, discovering the cause was the hidden weapon and ammunition. The man possesses a valid firearms license until 2027. Police have opened an investigation into the incident, but no criminal charges are currently expected.
