Police say the blast occurred as the man was driving a truck on Lod Street in the city, adding that officers are at the scene and investigating the cause of the blast.
Police sources tell Hebrew media the motive is likely criminal, not terror.
Magen David Adom medics say that they found a man in his 50s lying lifeless beside the burning truck and were forced to declare him dead at the scene.
