Holon Bomb Case: Two Young Men Arrested on Suspicion of Involvement in Explosion

In depth

Two young men in their 20s were arrested on suspicion of involvement in a bomb explosion in a house yard on Sanhedrin Street in Holon. The explosion took place at the end of September and moderately wounded a 15-year-old boy. After a covert investigation that lasted more than a month, Tel Aviv District Major Crime Unit detectives arrested the two suspects this morning, residents of Holon and Bnei Brak.

The detainees are being questioned on suspicion of their involvement in the incident. The affair reached the arrest stage about a month and a half after the explosion, and the investigation remained covert until the morning hours.

Details of each suspect's role in the incident have not yet been released, and it is not yet clear what the motives for the explosion were.
