The suspect, a Rehovot resident in his 20s, was arrested earlier Tuesday on suspicion of involvement in the arson of the Japnika branch in Givatayim, which occurred about two weeks ago. Later on Tuesday, a court extended his remand by seven days, until Monday, according to i24NEWS and Israeli media reports. The arrest is the first in this specific case, which is part of a broader series of incidents targeting Japnika branches across central Israel in recent weeks, including an arson attempt in Haifa and a grenade attack in Kiryat Ono, as previously reported.
