Tel Aviv District police officers arrested two suspects in Bnei Brak on Tuesday afternoon in connection with a fragmentation grenade explosion that occurred overnight in south Tel Aviv. The suspects, aged 17 and 19, were riding a scooter when apprehended; a knife was also found in their possession.
Police said the explosion took place at two separate scenes — one on Mahal Street, where a person was lightly injured, and another on Street 4586, with no casualties. The motive is suspected to be criminal, linked to a feud between organized crime groups. The arrests follow at least eight shooting and grenade incidents reported since Monday afternoon across central Israel, including in Herzliya, Ness Ziona, Rishon LeZion, Afula, Tel Aviv, and Netanya, according to reports.
The suspects are expected to be brought to court for a remand hearing later Tuesday.
