Police suspect foul play in a car blast that killed a driver today on a highway near the northern moshav of Nahalal.

“From collecting initial findings from the scene, the suspicion arises that this is a car explosion with a criminal motive,” police say in a statement.

Contradicting a previous statement by Magen David Adom on the incident, police say the driver killed is male, rather than female.

Forensic investigators and bomb disposal experts are still working at the scene to examine the circumstances of the incident, police add.
