The evidence from multiple reputable Israeli news sources provides clear information about the victim's identity and the circumstances of her death. Ynet News, The Jerusalem Post, and Haaretz all identify the victim as Leah Malka Cohen, a 35-year-old woman from Rishon LeZion. Critically, these sources describe her professional background differently than the social media claim: The Jerusalem Post explicitly states she was "an accountant and former police officer," while Haaretz notes she "served as a police officer in mandatory service." None of the sources mention her being a former IDF soldier.
Regarding the explosive device, all sources consistently report it weighed about half a kilogram, not one kilogram as claimed. The Jerusalem Post states she was "killed by an explosive device weighing about half a kilogram," and N12 (in Hebrew) reports police said "an explosive device of about half a kilo was placed in the car." The claim about her husband's involvement is partially supported: multiple sources confirm her estranged husband was detained for questioning, though he denies involvement and was reportedly sleeping at home at the time. The claim about her body being badly damaged is supported by reports that the car caught fire after the explosion, making identification difficult.
The evidence comes from multiple reputable Israeli news outlets (Ynet, The Jerusalem Post, Haaretz, N12) that published detailed reports within days of the incident. These sources provide consistent information about the victim's identity, the explosive device weight, and the investigation. The sources are primary news organizations with direct access to police statements and official information.
