Teen Girl Recounts Terror After Caught in Criminal Grenade Attack
A 16-year-old girl, identified only as P., is recovering after being injured by a grenade explosion in Ma'alot-Tarshiha, northern Israel. She was on her way to visit her grandmother when the grenade was thrown as part of an apparent criminal dispute. P. described the moment of the blast, stating, "I heard a boom, I fell, and when I opened my eyes, I saw only blood." She reported seeing blood on her hands, stomach, and legs.
Paramedics arrived quickly and transported her to the hospital. Although her condition has improved, P. remains traumatized by the incident. When asked if she would be afraid to leave the house again, she responded, "Yes, I am afraid." Her father confirmed her improved physical state but noted her emotional distress and fear of going outside.
Police are investigating the grenade throwing as part of a conflict between criminals. Authorities suspect P. was not the intended target and was caught in the crossfire by chance. The incident highlights the dangers of escalating criminal violence impacting innocent bystanders.
