Tel Aviv's Ayalon Highway has been blocked by authorities following the discovery of a grenade on the road, according to Israeli police. 

The Ayalon Highway is a key route that leads to Tel Aviv, considered the occupation's booming economic hub. The grenade, found near the area of the Rokach Interchange, was discovered during peak rush hour, bringing traffic to a standstill as the road was blocked and sappers were dispatched to the scene.

Since the onset of its genocide in Gaza, "Israel" has been grappling with a myriad of security incidents and operations across occupied territories. 

On Sunday, Israeli media reported that the state of alert in occupied al-Quds was heightened following an intelligence report indicating the presence of two individuals planning an attack. 

In response, occupation police deployed helicopters to patrol the skies over occupied al-Quds and its surrounding areas. According to Israeli media, they later intercepted a suspicious vehicle near the Litron junction.

Israeli Channel 12 reported that the police "stopped traffic on Route 1 leading to Jerusalem." 

This comes amid growing fears in the occupation entity of an escalation in operations in occupied al-Quds and the West Bank.
