Following the arrest of a 20-year-old suspect in the Givatayim Japnika arson this morning, a court on Tuesday extended his remand until Monday, i24NEWS reports. The suspect was taken into custody earlier in the day in connection with the fire that damaged the restaurant two weeks ago.
The Givatayim case is part of a broader pattern of arson attacks targeting the Japnika chain across central Israel. As The Zioneer has reported, other incidents include a grenade attack at a Kiryat Ono branch, an attempted arson in Haifa, and a cafe fire in Ramat Gan.
