Former Bat Yam Mayor Shlomo Lahiani was injured Sunday afternoon when his car burst into flames following a powerful explosion on Ayalon Highway near the La Guardia Interchange. Another man, approximately 35 years old, was moderately wounded in the blast.
The explosions occurred on the southbound lanes of the Ayalon Highway near the La Guardia interchange, according to the Zionist police, who say they are probing what was behind the blast.
Emergency responders received the report at 3:27 pm, and Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics treated both men at the scene before transporting them to Wolfson Medical Center in Holon. Lahiani sustained minor injuries, while the second victim suffered moderate blast-related wounds.
“We saw two vehicles in the middle of the road and two injured men nearby, both suffering from blast injuries and limb wounds,” said MDA medics Neriah Ben Moshe and Shai Bechar. “We provided initial treatment and evacuated them in stable condition.”
