State prosecutors are planning to indict four gang members suspected of targeting a Tel Aviv apartment building in two separate grenade attacks, a law enforcement spokesman says.
The suspects were arrested three weeks ago following an investigation into the incidents that took place in the city this March.
At around midnight on March 3, one of the suspects allegedly chucked a grenade at the building on Tel Aviv’s Moshe Dayan Street, injuring one person.
Weeks later on March 26, the suspects are thought to have been involved in throwing another grenade and firing shots at the same building. No injuries were reported in the second incident.
During a search of the suspects’ homes, police seized NIS 31,000 ($8,870) in cash, a knife and their phones. Investigators believe the men carried out the grenade attacks and shooting as part of a “criminal dispute” between rival gangs.
In the coming days, an indictment will be filed against the suspects, aged 19, 21, 30 and 32. They reside in Holon, Petah Tikvah and Beit She’an, police say.
