The Israel Police on Sunday neutralized a Hamas grenade that was discovered in Kibbutz Be’eri, almost two years after the terrorist organization’s Oct. 7, 2023, onslaught on the border town.

Workers discovered a suspicious metal object during reconstruction work at the kibbutz and immediately alerted authorities, police stated.

“The grenade, which had remained in the area since the intense fighting, was located and safely neutralized by police officers and bomb disposal experts from the Southern District,” according to the Hebrew statement.
