According to police, the group organized as an illegal military force whose members threw Molotov cocktails and stones at Israeli vehicles, roads, and settlement locations in the area.

Israel's Fire and Rescue Authority initially warned that hazardous chemicals may have leaked following the explosion, with the Kiryat Gat municipality asking residents to stay away from the area.

According to police, the reputation the agent had built in the criminal underworld allowed him to gain the trust of dealers and carry out dozens of controlled drug transactions.

The Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality said the building was slated for demolition prior to its unexpected collapse, and instructed residents to stay away from the scene.

The 18-year-old is suspected of serious offenses against national security, membership in a terrorist organization, and preparing to commit a terrorist act.

The investigation began Sunday after police received a report of young children wandering alone near the facility. Officers arrived, located the toddlers, and helped return them to their parents.

Police said the suspect had previously been involved in security-related incidents and was suspected of participating in terrorist attacks targeting Israelis.

The victim, a Ramla resident, was lightly injured in the alleged attack on Sunday afternoon.

Northern District police officers and bomb disposal experts responded to the incident, which was declared a mass-casualty event by the IDF.

Kfar Saba Mayor Rafi Saar's wife is suspected of playing a significant role in the bribery scheme, particularly in coordinating with businesspeople.
