Israel Police have opened an investigation into a fragmentation grenade thrown in the coastal city of Ashdod on Wednesday evening, according to reporter Itai Gal-On. The motive is believed to be criminal; no injuries were reported at the scene. The incident adds to a string of similar criminal grenade attacks in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported in late June, a pipe bomb was thrown at a home in Jerusalem's Beit Safafa, and earlier in the month grenades were thrown in Netanya and Or Yehuda, with arrests made in the latter. Police have not yet announced any suspects or arrests in the Ashdod case.
