(Hai Fa) – Residents of Carmel HaTsarfati in Haifa reported in the last hour (Friday 18/4/25 15:00) a loud noise heard on Ze’ev Jabotinsky Street, which according to eyewitnesses and sources on the ground, was a grenade explosion. Police forces, including saboteurs, were called to the scene, following additional reports of suspicion of the existence of another grenade and weapons in a residential building in the neighborhood.

Police confirmed that the incident is known and the details are being investigated.

A powerful explosion shook Ze'ev Jabotinsky Street in the French Carmel

Around 15:00 PM, residents in the Carmel HaTsrafati neighborhood reported a loud explosion, which was clearly heard on Ze'ev Jabotinsky Street. According to witnesses at the scene, the explosion was accompanied by a loud echo and caused panic among residents of the area.

Neighbors' testimonies indicate that this may not have been a one-time incident. Some residents told Haifa that they had heard reports of another grenade hidden in one of the houses near the explosion scene. As a result, the saboteurs are now operating with extra caution and conducting thorough searches in the area.

“We live in fear,” said the neighborhood resident. “This is not a normal event. When you hear that there might be another grenade near you, you don’t feel safe even in your own home.”

Police sappers are currently scanning the scene to locate additional weapons and to collect evidence to investigate the incident.

Israel Police bomb squads, equipped with special equipment for detecting and neutralizing explosives, also arrived at the scene. The bomb squads are conducting precise scans of the street and nearby houses, searching for additional weapons, especially grenades that could endanger the lives of residents.

At this stage, no other grenade has been located, but security preparations are ongoing. Part of the street has been blocked off to traffic, and residents of one house have been asked to remain in their homes until the investigation is complete.

Residents demand security reinforcements in the neighborhood. The fear index is high, especially during a time of war.

  1. To the dear and high-quality residents of Haifa, on the subject of "security" to the residents of "beautiful Haifa" - a "large" city = "metropolis" of the important northern district in the "Jewish state"; a "huge protest" is needed... after all, it is impossible for its residents to behave like "ostriches"... they will bury a person in the sand as if "red warning signs" were not flashing!!!!!@@@@@
    The situation is FUK-ACT… the city is full of “gentiles” – criminals from all sides…!!!!!@@@@@
    "The Beautiful Haifa" has always been characterized by its special beauty: "Between Carmel and the Sea" and its special character: a city that strives for "education, culture and art"...!!!!!@@@@@

  2. You can barely see people and houses anymore. Just a sea of ​​vehicles and more vehicles and more vehicles..
    This is the real hell. The neighborhoods have become parking lots on every sidewalk inside gardens with vehicles at a height that hides people from each other.

  3. Long ago, the Muslims took control of the French Carmel, the Christians fled to the villages of Tirat Carmel and Cyprus, the country was conquered.

    • They are lucky that there are so many naive people who think that there is a side that is in favor of Israel. See the article Azmi Bishara and Basel Ghattas, who at the time received tremendous support in the elections from the public that you supposedly distinguish and sadden to Kiryat and Tirat Carmel, which were the last sane way out for the locals from Haifa. These are the new residents, according to you. In the end, our young people will probably only have to move to the settlements/communities.

  4. This house was exactly two years ago, all the vehicles were set on fire there! This is because the police don't connect the dots and treat it as an isolated incident. There's an address for a grenade, for the burned vehicles, for a shot at the house a year and a half ago. No one died, so it doesn't matter! Neighbors left the house on Zev 9! When I called to report the explosion, they said they didn't know anything.

  5. We lived on a street in the Modik area until 2 years ago and left because we had a baby.
    Immigration of Arabs (a minority of quality people) and a majority of criminals or those similar to them, and this is the result.

    The Arabs are bringing violence with them from the villages and it won't be long before all of Haifa becomes Arab and uninhabitable for Jews or Arabs who want to escape the violence.

    This is the situation throughout the country, but the continued use of the words "coexistence" is precisely the source of the problem!!

  6. They are being sold apartments in neighborhoods that were once considered homogeneous, and the population is slowly changing, and what will it look like in the next generation?
    And in the media and in left-wing demonstrations, they slander the quietest population in Israel, who don't bother anyone just because their children study Torah and receive about 800 NIS a month in subsistence allowance.

  7. Dear Haifa residents, the current situation in Greater Haifa, including West and South Haifa, is lawlessness. There is no proper enforcement. Citizen safety is being trampled on!! As a native of Haifa, I do not remember such a delirious period. The level of crime, which includes Ishmaelites who joined the Midir gang, is relentless. It is time for personal security to return. We cannot allow this lawlessness to continue.

    • I heard the explosion when I was at the Navy Garden with my little son at 1500.
