3AM grenade launched in Bnei Brak, shattering the quiet

A fragmentation grenade was thrown at the home of a prominent Hasidic-Haredi media consultant in Bnei Brak early Sunday morning, according to reports from Kikar HaShabbat news outlet. The incident occurred around 3 AM, when residents of the quiet western Bnei Brak neighborhood were awakened by a powerful explosion.

The target of the attack is known for his work in public relations and has been an influential figure in Haredi media circles. Sources familiar with the situation told Kikar HaShabbat that the consultant had recently been involved in disputes with various parties both within and outside the Haredi community, including some major Torah world philanthropists.

While police have launched an investigation, the identity of the perpetrators remains unknown. Sources close to the investigation suggested that powerful figures might be involved, noting that the attackers may not necessarily be from within the Haredi sector.

This incident comes amid rising concerns about criminal activity in Bnei Brak, following a series of recent grenade attacks and shootings at various properties in the city. Local residents have expressed growing anxiety about the potential risk to innocent bystanders as these criminal activities escalate.
