Two Minors Arrested in Ashdod for Throwing Firebombs at Police and Municipal Vehicles

Two 15-year-old residents of Ashdod were arrested on suspicion of throwing a firebomb at a municipal patrol car and a police car. No injuries or damage were reported in either incident. The investigation began over the weekend following a report to the Ashdod police station about a firebomb being thrown at a parked municipal patrol car. Station officers arrived at the scene, collected evidence, and conducted investigative actions to identify those involved. During the investigation, suspicion focused on the two minors, aged 15, for their alleged involvement in this incident and another incident where a firebomb was reportedly thrown at a police vehicle. The suspects were apprehended and taken for questioning. Police are expected to request an extension of their detention from the court, depending on the investigation's needs. "Israel Police views any attempt to harm security forces and law enforcement officers with severity and will continue to act decisively to prosecute those involved in serious and life-threatening violent offenses," a police statement read.
