Israeli police have arrested a 20-year-old man from Jerusalem suspected of planting an explosive device that detonated in a vehicle in Or Yehuda a month ago. The arrest occurred on Monday, following an intensive investigation by the National Police's crime-fighting unit for the Dan region. The incident took place on September 18, when a loud explosion was reported from a car in Or Yehuda. Responding officers found the damaged vehicle and initiated a probe, collecting evidence from the scene. Fortunately, no one was injured in the blast. Detectives worked for weeks to identify those involved in planting the bomb. The suspect was apprehended after significant progress in the investigation and was taken for questioning. He is expected to appear in the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, where police will seek to extend his detention for further investigation. The motive behind the bombing and the identity of the vehicle's owner remain unclear at this stage.
