A man in his 40s was killed overnight Thursday in a car explosion on Highway 4, near the Pal-Yam junction close to Or Akiva, in what is suspected to be an assassination. MDA emergency teams who arrived at the scene found the man unconscious and performed resuscitation efforts, but his severe injuries led to the determination of death at the scene. Police forces arrived and began searching for evidence and investigating the circumstances of the incident. An MDA doctor, Dr. Muhammad Abu Alrob, paramedic Simone Bouirat, and medic Muhammad Magadla described the scene as "very difficult," noting the victim suffered severe systemic injuries. This incident follows a near-assassination attempt two days prior in Jerusalem, where criminal figure Itzik Bar Moha, 58, and head of the Jerusalem crime family, was seriously injured by a car bomb. His 13-year-old son was moderately injured in that attack. Initial police investigations suggest a bomb was attached to the vehicle. The investigation into the Jerusalem incident is being handled by the Jerusalem District's Central Unit, and a gag order has been placed on its details.
