Five injured, two seriously in Tel Aviv mafia bombing
A car explosion in Tel Aviv has seriously injured two people and moderately hurt another. Police say the blast is an underworld gang hit and not a terror attack.
Two passersby were lightly hurt in the bombing, which rocked roads near the stock exchange in Ramat Gan, the Ma’ariv news site reports.
The injured includes a senior figure in the crime organization headed by Amir Mulner.
Prof. Pini Halpern, head of the emergency ward at Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Hospital, confirms in a statement that three people with injuries have arrived at the ward, two of them in serious condition, who were being treated in the trauma room.
