Grenade Attack on Northern Israel Restaurant Kills Woman, Wounds Three

A fragmentation grenade was thrown at a restaurant in Kafr Mandi, an Arab town 16 kilometers northwest of Nazareth in the Lower Galilee, on Saturday, November 14. The attack resulted in the death of a 60-year-old woman and injuries to three others. The deceased was hospitalized in very serious condition shortly after the incident. Among the injured are a man and woman, both around 50 years old, in moderate condition, and another man with minor injuries. All victims were restaurant patrons and sustained wounds from grenade fragments, according to paramedic Iyad Hebi. They were transported to Rambam Medical Center and the Italian Hospital in Nazareth. Police are investigating the incident, with a preliminary theory suggesting the perpetrators were targeting someone else and attacked the relative's establishment when their intended target was not found. An eyewitness described the explosion as very loud, initially mistaken for a rocket, causing widespread panic and damage. Local residents reported several similar grenade incidents in the past month without any suspects being apprehended.
