Explosive Device Found at Criminal Ben Butbika’s Residence in Netanya
Netanya, Israel – In a shocking turn of events, criminal Ben Butbika narrowly escaped another assassination attempt when an explosive device detonated at the entrance of his residential building in Netanya. The incident marks the fifth failed attempt on his life within a span of just two months.
Two months ago, senior crime figures from the center were involved in flying a bomb on top of a drone towards Butbika’s apartment, which miraculously failed to harm him. However, this latest incident has raised serious concerns among authorities and residents alike.
Central District Commander Superintendent Avi Biton, after assessing the scene, highlighted the need for a powerful response to combat such dangerous criminal activities, particularly within residential neighborhoods. “The safety of the residents is our utmost priority,” Superintendent Biton stated firmly.
In a successful conclusion to a covert operation this morning, the police arrested a 20-year-old man believed to be involved in the placement of the explosive device. The suspect, who belongs to one of the gangs in Netanya, is currently being questioned by the police, with intentions to bring him to court for a hearing requesting his extended detention.
Ben Butbika, who is a frequently targeted individual by both Netanya and Sharon police, narrowly survived an attempt in May when he and his partner reacted swiftly to a strange noise and ended up in the emergency room. It is believed that an assassination order has been issued against him due to his conflicts with various parties and criminal organizations in Netanya.
Sources close to the investigation revealed that Butbika’s clash with a major crime organization from the center may have led to his current predicament. “When the ring around you tightens and everyone wants you dead, it’s hard to get out of it alive. Money also talks here, and it’s clear that they control the matter,” the sources said.
Butbika, just 24 years old, has become a prime target for elimination, posing a significant challenge to his survival. With his luck running out, the big question remains – how much longer can he evade death?
Residents of Netanya are on high alert as the authorities work tirelessly to ensure their safety and bring those responsible for the repeated assassination attempts to justice.
