A car explosion in Ramle, Israel, resulted in four fatalities and numerous injuries on Thursday. Emergency services reported that 13 people were injured, including five in critical condition, among them a two-month-old baby and several children. The explosion, which occurred near a store in a residential area, also caused fires that spread to two nearby shops. Investigations indicate that the blast was not caused by a bomb, and police are exploring other possibilities, including the potential use of a grenade or Molotov cocktail. The incident is being treated as criminal rather than a terrorist attack, as bomb squads continue to assess the scene for further risks. Medical teams have been actively treating the injured and transporting them to local hospitals.
