Israeli Police Solve Grenade Attack on Jafnika Store in Kiryat Ono
Israeli police have solved the case of a grenade attack on a Jafnika convenience store in Kiryat Ono that occurred on July 13, 2026. Two masked suspects, aged 18 and 22 from Bat Yam, allegedly arrived on a two-wheeled vehicle around 2 a.m., threw a fragmentation grenade at the store entrance, and fled the scene. The explosion caused property damage but no injuries.
The Tel Aviv District Central Unit (YAMAR) investigated the incident, which police believe was linked to criminal disputes amid a recent surge in violent events. Using technological tools and investigative measures, authorities tracked down the suspects despite their attempts to cover their tracks.
The first suspect was arrested on July 16, followed by the second a few days later. Searches of their homes yielded evidence and clothing items connecting them to the attack. Their detention has been extended multiple times, and indictments are expected to be filed against them in the coming days.
