Police opened an investigation after a suspected IDF stun grenade exploded near a building in Ramat HaSharon on Monday morning, according to a report. The incident is the latest in a series of similar stun grenade attacks across the greater Tel Aviv area that The Zioneer has documented in recent weeks. On July 15, a stun grenade was thrown near a business in Herzliya Pituach; on July 13, a grenade was thrown at a home in Or Yehuda; and on July 16, a stun grenade was thrown near a residential building in Tel Aviv's Kokhav HaTzafon. All incidents were suspected to be criminal in nature and resulted in no casualties. The Zioneer's coverage also includes reports of a fragmentation grenade detonated at a building entrance in Rishon LeZion on July 14, and a grenade blast in a north Tel Aviv lobby on July 11. The full details of the Ramat HaSharon incident are expected to be reported by ynet. The frequency of such incidents has raised concerns among residents and local authorities, though police have not indicated a single suspect or group.
