Motorcyclist threw a grenade into the house of former Chelsea player.


In the city of Ramat Hasharon in Israel, on Sunday, April 6, dangerous events occurred when a grenade was thrown into the house of former Chelsea footballer Yossi Benayoun. The criminal on a motorcycle threw an explosive device under the front door and fled. A fire broke out from the explosion, but it was quickly extinguished.
Benayoun is convinced that he was mistaken for someone else: 'This is a mistake - I am sure the grenade was intended to be thrown at someone else's house. At first, I thought it was a gas cylinder explosion, and we called the firefighters. But when the police found the remnants of the grenade, we realized that the matter was serious,' Benayoun said.
Fortunately, no one was injured in this incident. The police are investigating it as a criminal attack and not a terrorist act.
Benayoun was a well-known footballer who played for clubs such as Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal. He won the Europa League in 2013.
Additionally, Russian wrestler Imam Ganishov posted a message on his Instagram stories wishing death to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The post spoke about the most horrific death for Netanyahu, so that everyone could see it. Ganishov is a bronze medalist at the European wrestling championship.
In 2023, he was illegally present in territories of Ukraine occupied by Russia, where he visited a Russian soldier in the Zaporizhia region.
