A second unexploded stun grenade was located in Tzameret Park in Tel Aviv on Monday, according to Israeli media reports. No injuries or damage have been reported.
Earlier today, police sappers neutralized a fragmentation grenade in north Tel Aviv and a stun grenade on Nissim Aloni Street, both reported at 11:08 Jerusalem. Later Monday morning, a second unexploded stun grenade was located in Tzameret Park, the same park where a fragmentation grenade was hurled at the Y Towers on August 6, as reported by The Zioneer. No injuries or damage have been reported from the latest discovery.
The series of incidents in the Tzameret area began on August 3, when a stun grenade was thrown near a residential building in the neighborhood (The Zioneer, Aug 3, 09:05 Jerusalem). On August 6, a fragmentation grenade was hurled at the Y Towers in Tzameret Park, causing damage but no injuries (The Zioneer, Aug 6, 13:01 Jerusalem). Earlier today, at 11:08 Jerusalem, police confirmed a fragmentation grenade had been found in north Tel Aviv, with a criminal investigation opened. Shortly thereafter, a stun grenade was located on Nissim Aloni Street and neutralized. The latest discovery—a second unexploded stun grenade—was found in Tzameret Park, and police sappers have not yet been reported to have neutralized it.
Police have described the incidents as criminal in nature, with an investigation underway. The Zioneer has reported on the unfolding pattern of grenade-related incidents in the Tel Aviv area.
It remains unclear whether the incidents are linked. No suspects have been named, and the motive remains under investigation. The status of the latest device has not been confirmed.
