A man, approximately 40 years old, was killed Thursday evening in a car explosion on Highway 4, near the entrance to Or Akiva. Police arrived at the scene and launched an investigation into the circumstances of the incident. Medical teams who were called to the location found the victim unconscious, but after resuscitation efforts, they were forced to declare him dead.
This incident follows a similar event two days prior, where a known criminal, Itzik Bar Mocha, was seriously injured in a car explosion in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Armon Hanatziv. His 13-year-old son, who was with him in the vehicle, sustained moderate injuries. Both were evacuated for further medical treatment, and police also opened an investigation into that incident.
In 2016, a similar assassination attempt occurred in Jerusalem when a bomb was placed in the car of criminal Simo Malka. Bar Mocha, described as one of the leaders of the "Jerusalem Gang," was a suspect in that case and had been arrested in recent years on suspicion of involvement in other assassination attempts.
