Grenade Attack Kills Woman, Injures Three in Northern Israel

A grenade attack on a candy store in the village of Mandah, northern Israel, on Saturday evening resulted in the death of 51-year-old Lina Qassem Zidan and injuries to three others. Zidan, a resident of Daliyat al-Karmel, was critically injured and later died at the hospital. Two other individuals sustained moderate injuries, and one person was lightly wounded.

The store, located in a busy commercial area, was targeted by a grenade thrown from a vehicle. Police are investigating the incident and have arrested four individuals suspected of involvement. Three are believed to have operated as a single cell from the vehicle, while a fourth is suspected of broader involvement.

According to Kan News, the store owner, who experienced a similar incident two weeks prior without casualties, has not cooperated with the police investigation and claims he does not feel threatened. The Inspector General, Dani Levi, visited the scene and vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice, stating, "We will settle the score with all of you." He added that criminal organizations, whose leaders are incarcerated, are attempting to resurface, but their efforts will be thwarted.

Levi refused to confirm if the arrested individuals belonged to organized crime groups but issued a stern warning to such organizations, emphasizing that lawbreakers belong behind bars while innocent citizens should be able to shop safely.
