A stun grenade was thrown near a residential building in Tel Aviv's Tzameret neighborhood overnight, the latest in a series of similar attacks across the city. Police opened an investigation and are examining a possible link to the ongoing violent feud between the Musli and Jarushi criminal organizations, as The Zioneer reported early Monday.
The Zioneer first reported the incident at 02:04 Jerusalem, with initial reports of a grenade thrown at a residential tower in Park Tzameret. Within the same hour, a second grenade was reported at the same location. By Monday morning, police confirmed the incident was criminal and were investigating a connection to the Musli-Jarushi feud, marking a shift from unconfirmed early reports to an official police line of inquiry.
The attack is part of a broader pattern of grenade and stun grenade attacks in the Tel Aviv area in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on Jul 20, a stun grenade was thrown near a building in north Tel Aviv, with police probing a link to the 'Jafnika' affair. On Jul 9, a grenade was thrown at a home in Kfar Shalem. On Jul 20, a grenade was hurled at the same building in Kokhav HaTzafon for the second time in a week, a building housing a known criminal tied to the Jarushi family. These incidents underscore an ongoing wave of criminal violence.
The specific target of the Tzameret attack remains unclear, and police have not reported any arrests. The investigation into the potential link to the Musli-Jarushi feud is ongoing.
