Car Explosion in Jerusalem Suspected Assassination Attempt, Two Injured

Two people, a father and son, were injured in varying degrees following an explosion that apparently occurred inside a vehicle on Meir Feinstein Street in the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood of Jerusalem. Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics and medics responded to the scene to provide medical treatment. The father, approximately 50 years old, sustained serious injuries, while his 13-year-old son, initially listed as moderately injured, later deteriorated to serious condition. Police are investigating the incident as a suspected assassination attempt involving an explosive device. Haki Har Kesef, an MDA emergency medical technician, described arriving at the scene to find the car engulfed in flames with debris scattered around. He stated, "We saw the vehicle on fire and fragments around it. Nearby was a man about 50 years old and a boy about 13 years old, conscious and suffering from burns and injuries to their bodies. We provided them with medical treatment and evacuated them in MDA intensive care units to the hospital while continuing medical treatment."
