(TheProudRepublic.com) – In what could have been a major tragedy, the plans of a suspected Islamic terrorist backfired when he recently died after accidentally detonating a bomb he was carrying.
Watch the video below.
The blast occurred in Tel Aviv, prompting numerous emergency calls to the Israel Police.
The explosion was confirmed by the police, who reported, “As a result of the explosion, one person, whose identity is still unknown, was killed, and another person was moderately injured according to medical sources and was transported to a hospital for treatment.”
A security camera captured footage of the explosion, which was powerful enough to compel officials to share images of the suspect—a military-aged male with a large backpack—and additional footage from the scene after the blast.
Foundation for Defense of Democracies senior research analyst Joe Truzman commented on the bomber’s possible origins.
He mentioned that the individual could have connections with Judea and Samaria, or potentially with Iran or Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group backed in Lebanon.
Truzman also noted, “With the news that Hamas rejected the ceasefire proposal, it is possible that either of these actors decided to execute their response to recent Israeli actions.”
He also raised the possibility of links to the Islamic State or inspiration from other terrorist groups, referencing a specific incident: “Think the Jerusalem bombing in 2022 carried out by Islam Faroukh.”
This incident marks the second time in a week that a bomb linked to Islamic terrorists has prematurely detonated in Israel.
