An 18-year-old from Bat Yam was arrested<\/a> on Thursday night on suspicion of being involved in throwing a fragmentation grenade at the Japanika branch in Kiryat Ono.<\/p>\n

On Monday, July 13, a fragmentation grenade was thrown<\/a> at the Kiryat Ono branch as part of the wave of grenade attacks on Japanika chain branches in central Israel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the span of a few hours, police announced two grenade explosions, a pipe bomb attack, and an attempted arson. Three of the incidents targeted branches of the Japanika restaurant chain, owned by businessman and Beitar Jerusalem owner Barak Abramov.<\/p>\n

The suspect is expected to appear before the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court on Friday, where police will request his detention be extended to facilitate the ongoing investigation into the incidents.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Tuesday morning, Israel Police<\/a> said that the thrown grenades were stolen IDF equipment.<\/p>\n

Israel Police arrested Musli crime family<\/a> boss Yossi Musli on Tuesday night in connection with a series of attacks targeting the Japanika restaurant chain, according to Israeli media reports.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For years, brothers Yossi and Eli Musli have managed to stay ahead of police, who suspect them of involvement in a long series of murders and attempted murders targeting their rivals.<\/p>\n

The criminal organization they lead began in southern Tel Aviv and developed into a powerful network that some have described as a global empire. It is estimated to be worth more than half a billion shekels.<\/p>\n

Police suspect the organization of involvement in illegal gambling, extortion, high-interest black-market loans, operating casinos abroad, and other criminal activities.<\/p>\n

They also suspect that another brother, Shay, runs a criminal organization in South Africa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An 18-year-old from Bat Yam was arrested on Thursday night on suspicion of being involved in throwing a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":210734,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[33],"tags":[84,1105,5870,30481,37,30460,5869,1103],"class_list":["post-210733","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-israel","tag-attack","tag-crime","tag-crime-rates-in-israel","tag-grenades","tag-israel","tag-israel-crime-rate","tag-israel-police","tag-police"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116934629223681448","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210733","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=210733"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/210733\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/210734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=210733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=210733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=210733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
