Breaking: Breaking: Woman and child seriously injured in car bomb attack in Rehovot, Israel.


A WOMAN and child have been seriously injured in car bomb attack within the last hour in Rehovot, Israel on Tuesday, January 25, in what appears to be a case of mistaken identity by criminal gangs.
An MDA spokesperson stated that a mother and her toddler were being treated for their injuries after the bomb exploded in Carmel Street, Rehovot. The 29-year-old mother is said to be in moderate-to-severe condition, while her one-and-a-half-year-old toddler is being treated for a head injury.


According to Ynet, the young mother was on her way to her daughter’s kindergarten when the bomb went off. The toddler was in the backseat.
MDA evacuated the two to Kaplan Hospital, where they are being treated.
Police sources told local news outlet, 0404: “Apparently it was a mistake in identification”.
Israel Police said they are investigating the incident “to understand how a bomb ended up strapped to a woman’s car.”
A member of the “English speakers in Rehovot” group on Facebook noted that they had heard an explosion, with one user writing that a car exploded in Ahuzat HaNasi.
Another user claimed that the car explosion was “all over the news, with a pregnant woman and toddler inside. Both are injured.”
Rehovot is approximately 20 km (12 miles) south of Tel Aviv and has seen other tragic events occur recently.
According to the Jerusalem Post, on January 6, eight people were injured in Rehovot after a shock grenade was thrown in an event hall.
