A grenade was suspected by police to have caused an explosion at the office of the Abraham Initiatives in Lod early this morning, the coexistence organization says in a statement.

Images released by the group show damage to the office. No injuries were reported in the incident.

“The Abraham Initiatives expect the police and law enforcement to carry out a speedy and fundamental investigation into the serious incident, and bring the perpetrators to justice,” the statement reads.

The organization, founded 35 years ago, works to advance equality between Jews and Arabs, while also acting as a watchdog for the spiraling crime wave plaguing the Arab community in Israel.
