At a court hearing for the remand extension of Yossi Mosli and other suspects, it emerged that there have been 13 incidents involving grenades, explosives, and arsons across the country, according to N12 crime reporter Yolan Cohen. During the arrest of Mosli and the suspects, police seized NIS 78,000 in cash.
At a court hearing Wednesday morning for the remand extension of Yossi Mosli and several other suspects, it emerged that the investigation has linked the cell to 13 separate incidents across the country involving grenades, explosive devices, and arsons, according to N12 crime reporter Yolan Cohen. Police also seized NIS 78,000 in cash during the arrest of Mosli and the other suspects.
This development follows a series of reports Tuesday. The Zioneer reported that police arrested Mosli, the head of a crime organization, on suspicion of involvement in the grenade and shooting attacks on Japanika restaurant branches. Earlier, police sources confirmed to N12 that the attacks were part of a criminal feud aimed at pressuring the chain's owner, Barak Abramov, with one source warning that if the wave is not stopped, 'heads will roll.' The investigation has since expanded from the initial six grenade attacks to the 13 incidents now disclosed.
Attributed background: The Zioneer reported earlier this month that police confiscated over 1,400 rounds of ammunition, grenades, and NIS 186,000 in cash in a targeted operation in Rahat. Separately, on Tuesday, police thwarted a criminal attack in Umm al-Fahm, arresting nine suspects and seizing an M16 rifle, pistol magazines, a stun grenade, and ammunition, as reported by N12 crime reporter Oren Ravid.
The full scope of the Mosli cell's activities and the nature of the 13 incidents — including whether they are linked to criminal or terrorist elements — remains under investigation. Further details from the court proceedings are expected.
