A 15-year-old teenager was injured in Holon, Israel after an explosive device detonated. The Israeli police disclosed the incident on Monday. Sources indicate the teenager was not the intended target; he was moderately to severely wounded and subsequently evacuated by emergency services. Magen David Adom reported the victim was conscious and received medical attention at the scene before being transported to a hospital.
The police have declared the incident likely criminal in nature, with a source close to the investigation suggesting the explosion occurred near the residence of a known criminal. Israel's Minister of Interior, Avigdor Liberman, criticized the government, stating that it is unraveling following the Holon explosion, which he linked to ongoing violence in other regions including Rahat and Jaljulya.
