Gelderland police announced via social media that material damage was limited, while confirming an active investigation had been launched. Authorities called on anyone with relevant information to come forward.

A regional public broadcaster reported that the blast occurred at the entrance gate of the Israel Center, a facility operated by the Christians for Israel Foundation — an organization that describes itself on its website as “a meeting place for Christians with a heart for Israel.”
