A woman, identified as Lina Qassem (Zidan) from Daliyat al-Karmel, has died from injuries sustained in a grenade attack on a commercial store in Kafr Manda. The incident occurred on Saturday in a crowded area, resulting in the death of Qassem and injuries to three others. Qassem was initially in critical condition after receiving resuscitation efforts at the scene before being transported to the hospital, where her death was later confirmed.
The attack involved the throwing of a fragmentation grenade at a store, causing injuries of varying severity to four individuals. Among the injured was a woman, approximately 60 years old, who was in critical condition and required resuscitation. Other injured parties included two individuals in moderate condition and one in mild condition. Emergency medical services, including paramedics from Magen David Adom, provided initial treatment before transporting the injured to Rambam Hospital in Haifa and the Italian Hospital in Nazareth.
An emergency paramedic, Iyad Al-Hibi, described the scene as chaotic upon arrival, with several injured individuals. He detailed the resuscitation efforts undertaken for the critically injured woman, including chest compressions and artificial respiration, before her transfer to the hospital. The other injured individuals were also treated and transported.
The Israeli Police have launched an investigation into the incident, collecting evidence and examining the circumstances surrounding the grenade attack. The motive and perpetrators remain unknown as the investigation is ongoing. This incident marks the 200th death in the Arab community since the beginning of the year due to violence.
Notably, the same commercial establishment was targeted by a grenade attack approximately one week prior, raising concerns about the repeated targeting of businesses in the area. The timing of Saturday's attack, during peak business hours on a weekend, exacerbated fears for public safety.
