Tel Aviv District Commander, Superintendent Haim Sargroff, stated at the scene in Holon that the victim of a shooting is known to police and had been involved in numerous criminal incidents against the backdrop of conflicts in Jaffa's Arab street, according to an N12 report.
Tel Aviv District Commander Superintendent Haim Sargroff told reporters at the scene of a shooting in Holon on Sunday afternoon that the victim is known to police, having been involved in many criminal incidents linked to conflicts in Jaffa's Arab street, as reported by N12. The statement — the first official characterization from authorities since the incident was first reported — comes after The Zioneer's thread tracked the event escalating from an initial vehicle explosion report at 12:04 Jerusalem to a confirmed targeted liquidation, with the victim later identified as Mustafa Abu Lisan, a Jaffa resident. The commander's comments now tie the attack directly to Jaffa's ongoing criminal conflicts, though no suspects have been named and the precise circumstances remain under investigation.
Earlier on Sunday, The Zioneer reported that a car exploded on HaLohamim Street in Holon around midday, with MDA treating a man in his 30s found unconscious. Within minutes, the incident was characterized as a targeted liquidation by Hebrew media, and by 12:04 Jerusalem the victim was identified as Mustafa Abu Lisan. The thread shows a rapid escalation of detail: initial reports of one critically wounded became a confirmed fatality, then a targeted hit, with the police commander's on-scene statement now providing the criminal background linkage. No official confirmation of the victim's identity has been given by police, but media outlets have named him.
As The Zioneer has reported in a separate thread, a shooting in Tel Aviv last Wednesday critically wounded the partner of a reality-show winner; police there have also stated that the victim is known to them. No connection between the two events has been established by authorities.
The identity of the second person wounded in the Holon explosion has not been disclosed, and no arrests have been reported. The motive and responsibility for the attack remain unconfirmed.
