Israeli police arrested a Bat Yam resident, approximately 35, while driving on Highway 6. Two IDF fragmentation grenades were found in his vehicle, suspected of being intended for transfer to criminal organizations, according to initial reports.
The arrest occurred Wednesday evening on Highway 6. Police found two IDF-issue fragmentation grenades in the vehicle. The suspect, a Bat Yam resident in his mid-30s, is believed to have intended to transfer the grenades to criminal organizations. The investigation is ongoing. The case highlights the flow of military-grade weapons into the criminal underworld, a concern underscored by recent grenade-related incidents in the Bat Yam area, including the August grenade attack on a residential building lobby, as The Zioneer previously reported.
