Man lightly injured by grenade in south Tel Aviv, police say; terror not suspected
A man has been lightly injured by a grenade that went off this evening in south Tel Aviv, one of two separate explosions that occurred within a short time of each other in the city, police say.
Medics who arrived at the scene of the explosion in Kfar Shalem, a neighborhood on the city’s southeastern outskirts, took the injured man to the hospital.
The second explosion was also caused by a grenade, police say, adding that it did not result in any injuries.
Police believe the blasts are linked to criminal elements in the city and rule out suspicion of a terror attack.
Officers and bomb disposal experts from the South Tel Aviv police station are present at both crime scenes and collecting evidence.
