The Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court issued a gag order covering the investigation into a car explosion on HaLohamim Street in Holon. The order, obtained Sunday by police, bars publication of details in the case until July 5.
Sunday evening, the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court issued a gag order on the investigation into the car explosion on HaLohamim Street in Holon, prohibiting the publication of any investigation details until July 5. The order, obtained by police, was confirmed in a police statement.
Earlier Sunday, at 12:10 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that one man was killed in the daytime blast and that police were investigating a criminal motive. Over the following minutes, the thread tracked the casualty count upward — from a single critically wounded victim (version 2) to the confirmation that the man had died and that multiple fatalities were reported, with later versions stating the death toll rose to five and then to six in less than a day. An explosive device was described by reporter Adar Gitsis at the scene (version 3 and 4), and Tel Aviv District Commander Haim Sargrof assessed the scene (version 9). The gag order now restricts further public reporting on the investigation.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday (published at 14:32 Jerusalem), police were investigating the blast as a suspected criminal incident; no arrests have been reported. The gag order leaves open the precise circumstances of the explosion and any potential suspects or motives, pending the investigation.
