A car blast that killed a man this morning in Jaffa also moderately injured his six-year-old son, medics say.
The young boy is being treated at Wolfson Medical Center in Holon.
According to reports, the boy suffered burns to his face but managed to exit the car on his own, where medics found him.
The man was reportedly taking his son to school when the vehicle exploded.
Police are investigating the possibility that the suspected car bombing is a revenge killing for the deadly shooting of a teenage boy last week in the city, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
