A man, approximately 40 years old, was killed overnight Thursday in a car explosion on Highway 4, near the Pal-Yam junction close to Or Akiva. Emergency medical teams who arrived at the scene found the man unconscious and attempted resuscitation, but his severe injuries led to the declaration of his death.
Police forces from the Hadera station arrived at the scene, began collecting evidence, and initiated an investigation into the circumstances of the incident. Dr. Muhammad Abu Al-Ruv, a doctor with MDA, along with paramedic Simon Bouirat and EMT Muhammad Magadla, described the scene as "very difficult," noting the man's extensive injuries.
This incident follows two other recent car bombings. Two days prior, criminal Itzik Bar Mocha, 58, a leader of the Jerusalem gang, survived an assassination attempt in the capital and was seriously injured. His 13-year-old son sustained moderate injuries in the same explosion, which initial police investigations suggest was caused by a bomb attached to the vehicle. The investigation is being handled by the Jerusalem District's central unit, and a gag order has been placed on its details.
Approximately three months ago, criminal Rabea Abu Heikal, originally from Umm al-Fahm and associated with the Hariri crime organization, was killed in a car explosion in the Kiryat Haim neighborhood of Haifa. Firefighters extracted him from the burning vehicle, but he was pronounced dead at the scene by MDA teams.
