Reporter Adar Gitsis described an explosive device at the site of a blast in Holon, saying 'cars flew.' First footage shows significant damage. One man is critically wounded, police said. No arrests reported.
A man is in critical condition following an explosion in Holon on Sunday, with reporter Adar Gitsis at the scene describing the cause as a planted explosive device that sent vehicles flying, according to N12. The blast, which occurred around midday, left one male casualty with multi-system injuries, evacuated to Wolfson Medical Center in critical, unstable condition, as first reported by Yolen Cohen (N12) at 12:10 Jerusalem. Police are conducting investigations and searches for suspects; no arrests have been reported.
The desk's thread on this incident began at 12:10 Jerusalem with N12's Yolen Cohen reporting large police forces at the scene and searches underway. Minutes later, at 12:10 Jerusalem, Magen David Adom updated the victim's condition to critical and unstable. By 12:10 Jerusalem, Gitsis's first footage from the scene confirmed an explosive device. The source chain has moved from a single N12 report (Yolen Cohen) to a second N12 field reporter (Gitsis) providing on-site confirmation — but remains a single-newsroom source.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, the blast follows a separate vehicle explosion in Tira on June 24 (unrelated per current information).
Police have not stated a motive, identified a target, or announced any arrests. The victim's identity has not been released. The investigation continues.
