Number of injured in Ramle car blast rises to 13, including five in critical condition, one of them a baby

Magen David Adom raises the number of people injured in the car explosion in Ramle to 13, as the police say that it has ruled out the possibility that the blast was the result of a bomb.

MDA says a two-month-old baby, a 5-year-old girl, a 10-year-old boy, and a 15-year-old girl are all critically injured, as is a 50-year-old woman.

One person is seriously injured and two others — a 52-year-old man and a 59-year-old woman — are moderately injured.

Another five people are being treated for minor wounds.

Bomb squads called to the scene found no indication that the explosion was caused by a bomb planted in the vehicle, Hebrew media reports, and the police are now investigating other options, including the possibility that a grenade or a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the car, sparking the ignition.
