Suspicious Parcel Addressed to DAIA Rosario Leader Detonated in Controlled Blast

Prosecutors ordered lab tests to confirm what was inside, aiming to trace its origin.

Overview

  • The police explosives unit in Rosario, which responded Wednesday to a package addressed to DAIA Rosario president Gabriel Dobkin at a neurorehabilitation clinic, carried out a controlled detonation after a trained dog twice marked the box.
  • Officials said the precautionary blast and on‑site checks ruled out any immediately detectable explosive substance.
  • The operation closed the block at Paraguay and Ituzaingó for nearly six hours, stopped vehicle and foot traffic, and kept patients inside without reported injuries or damage.
  • Prosecutors took over the case and collected fragments for laboratory analysis to verify the contents and trace the delivery’s origin, with no sender listed on the parcel.
  • DAIA’s national leadership condemned the incident and called for swift clarification, underscoring concern when a parcel targets a leader of Argentina’s main Jewish community organization.
