An explosion occurred early Wednesday morning on Dvora HaNevia Street in Bnei Brak, following the suspected hurling of a pipe bomb at a residential building. The target is believed to be an individual involved in disputes with criminals. Police stated the incident has criminal motives, with no injuries or damage reported. Officers from the Bnei Brak-Ramot Gan station and forensic investigators secured the scene, collected evidence, and launched an investigation to determine the circumstances and identify those responsible.
This incident follows a series of explosions in other Israeli cities. In Holon, a stun grenade was reportedly thrown on October 11th, causing minor property damage. A few days prior, on October 6th, a fragmentation grenade was allegedly thrown at a residential building, causing damage but no injuries. Another incident occurred in Ashkelon on October 8th, where a fragmentation grenade was thrown into a building, also without reported casualties. Police are investigating all these incidents for criminal motives.
While no connection has been established between the Bnei Brak incident and the others, the pattern of explosions and grenade throws in residential areas highlights the danger posed to the public by the use of weapons in criminal conflicts.
