A vehicle exploded and caught fire in Ashkelon, Israeli media reported on Tuesday, citing Magen David Adom (MDA). Police have reported the case as an attempted murder on a target known to police, KAN reported.

The car exploded on Ram Pool Street in Ashkelon, causing the instant death of a 20-year-old woman. MDA teams confirmed her death at the scene. An eight-year-old girl was evacuated to Barzilai Medical Center in critical condition. A 40-year-old man was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Firefighters and MDA teams were on the scene. The initial MDA report indicated that a woman was trapped in the vehicle and several others were injured.

We provided medical assistance on the scene to a girl in critical condition and a 40-year-old man with moderate injuries. Unfortunately, a 20-year-old woman was pronounced dead due to the nature of her injuries and the severe burns she sustained,” KAN also reported.
