A woman was critically injured when his car exploded while driving during Thursday morning rush hour on the southbound Ayalon Highway near the Holon Interchange in central Israel. The victim suffered from burns on every part of her body, and Magen David Adom paramedics and EMTs who were dispatched to the scene pronounced her dead.
MDA Motorcycle Unit EMTs Neriya Hajbi and Orel Tolidano reported: "We received a report of a car explosion, and we rushed to the scene. We saw the vehicle on fire and an individual lying nearby, without a pulse and not breathing, with burns on their body. We examined the victim; the injuries were very serious, and we had to pronounce them dead."
The police arrived at the scene and opened an investigation, estimating the explosion was criminally motivated.
Haim Sargrof, commander of the Tel Aviv District, held a situational assessment at the scene of the incident and said afterward: "This appears to have been an explosive device weighing about half a kilogram that was placed inside the vehicle and caused the explosion. It resulted in the death of the person who was inside the vehicle. Once we reach definitive findings, we will publish them."
