The man killed in today's targeted car bombing in Holon — identified earlier as Mustafa Abu Lsan from Jaffa — had been charged two years ago with the murder of Hussein Boda at a butcher shop in Jaffa and with destroying evidence used by participants in that killing, according to reports. The Zioneer has not previously reported on those charges or the Holon incident.
The sequence of Sunday's events unfolded rapidly: at roughly midday, a car exploded on HaLohamim Street in Holon, leaving a man in his 30s unconscious. Magen David Adom crews treated him at the scene; the victim was pronounced dead. By 12:04 Jerusalem, police confirmed the incident was a targeted liquidation, and the Tel Aviv District Commander stated that the victim was known to police and had been involved in criminal incidents tied to conflicts in Jaffa's Arab street. The victim was identified as Mustafa Abu Lsan from Jaffa. Video footage showing the moment of the explosion was released shortly after. As of the latest update, the additional casualties, circumstances of the bombing, and any suspects remain under investigation.
