Four women were injured, one seriously, after a grenade was thrown at a building in Ashdod overnight Saturday, sparking a fire. The victims, aged 16 to 23, were sitting outside when the grenade exploded, with police determining they were not connected to the ongoing criminal feud in the area. Authorities believe the attack was a result of warring crime gangs and that the assailant targeted the wrong building. The incident is part of a recent surge in violent crime across the country, with several grenade attacks linked to battles between organized crime groups. Police have increased operations to curb the violence, confiscating weapons and thwarting planned attacks.
