More fear than harm. Former Liverpool star Yossi Benayoun survived a terrifying grenade attack against his home in Israel. The former Reds land-in-field was at his home around 11 p.m. this Sunday, when a biker threw an explosive through the window of his home, which fortunately did only material damage. The explosion triggered a fire while the attacker was fleeing. Police and firefighters rushed to Benayoun's house in Tel Aviv, to clarify the situation.
Israeli police are investigating this incident, considering it an alleged criminal attack rather than a terrorist incident. “It is definitely an error – I have no doubt that pomegranate was not directed to my house. At the beginning, I believed in the explosion of a gas bottle and we called the firefighters. It was only when the police arrived at home and found the remains of a grenade that we understood what had really happened ”said the former Liverpool player, Chelsea and West Ham to The Sun After the incident.
