Shocking footage released Sunday documents the murder of Lina Qassem Zeidan in Kafr Manda, northern Israel. The video shows perpetrators arriving at the scene, ramming Zeidan with their vehicle as she shopped near a sweets store, and then immediately throwing the grenade that killed her. Zeidan, 51, from Daliyat al-Karmel, was killed by a grenade thrown at a commercial store in Kafr Manda on Saturday. Three others were injured in the attack, including a man and woman around 50 years old, with moderate and light wounds. This marks the 200th murder in the Arab community in Israel since the start of the year. Police launched an investigation and deployed numerous officers to the scene, with the Inspector General of Police visiting the site. Four suspects from Ilut, Reineh, and Zarzir were arrested on suspicion of throwing grenades and their detention was extended for a week. Initial investigations suggest one of the two grenades thrown landed near Zeidan, causing her death, while her husband and two others were injured. Witnesses reported a motorcyclist arriving and throwing two grenades, one in front of the store where Zeidan was killed and the second toward another shop, before fleeing the scene. The vehicle believed to have been used by the perpetrators was found hidden in a nearby town. Lee Ayish, head of the Criminal Affairs Department on Channel 12, revealed new details, including that the targeted store had been the subject of a previous attempted attack just over a week prior, which involved a drone and resulted in no injuries. Police are investigating whether the grenade attack was an attempt to extort protection money. Northern District police arrested three suspects in connection with the incident, and further detention extensions are expected.
