A car bomb exploded in the Armon Hanatziv neighborhood of Jerusalem, critically injuring crime boss Itsik Bar-Moha, identified as a leader of the "Jerusalem Gang" (Knufiyat Yerushalayim). Bar-Moha's 13-year-old son was also injured in the blast, initially reported as moderately wounded but later classified as critical upon arrival at Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital.
The Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation "Kan" reported the incident and noted a similar assassination attempt in Jerusalem in 2016, which involved a car bomb targeting crime boss Simo Malki. Bar-Moha was a suspect in that 2016 case. In recent years, he has also been detained on suspicion of involvement in other attempted murders.
