Explosion in Haifa likely a gas leak, not grenade
A seven-year-old girl was badly wounded in an explosion in a store on Hehalutz Street in the Hadar neighborhood of Haifa.
In addition, a woman was lightly wounded. Ynet reports the explosion was the result of a gas canister leak, while Channel 2 earlier reported a grenade was thrown into the store.
An initial investigation ruled out foul play, but police have yet to reach a final conclusion.
The girl was taken to the Rambam Hospital in the city.
