One person is seriously wounded when a car exploded near a police station in the northern city of Acre, police and medics says.
The Magen David Adom rescue service says it is treating a man in his 30s with extensive injuries.
Police say investigators are at the scene in Acre’s Old City and the incident is likely criminal and not terror.
The incident comes a day after a car blast and subsequent fire in the central city of Ramle that killed four people and wounded nine others.
Many Arab Israeli community leaders have accused police of failing to crack down on powerful criminal organizations and largely ignoring the violence, which includes family feuds, mafia turf wars and violence against women.
