Police are investigating a suspected grenade attack that occurred Thursday night on Menachem Begin Street in Tel Aviv. The incident, which involved the throwing of a fragmentation grenade, resulted in no injuries. The motive is believed to be criminal.
In a separate incident, officers from the Northern District Police discovered four fragmentation grenades and other weapons hidden in a sewage pit outside a home in Zarzir on Tuesday. A 20-year-old local resident was arrested in connection with the discovery. His detention was extended by the Nazareth Magistrate's Court until Friday, and the investigation is ongoing.
These events follow a similar incident approximately one month ago in Or Yehuda, where a 33-year-old man allegedly threw a grenade at a business, injuring five people. That suspect, reportedly part of a gang involved in violent crimes and weapons offenses in the Gush Dan region, had been evading police since May. Significant investigative developments in that case led to the arrest and indictment of three other gang members.
