New footage released by Israeli media on Tuesday morning shows the damage at the Japnika branch in Herzliya, where signs of gunfire were found. The footage provides visual confirmation of the incident first reported earlier in the day. No casualties have been reported.
The Zioneer reported multiple updates on the Herzliya incident at 08:36: initial reports of shots fired, then bullet marks on the window, then the connection to five overnight grenade attacks on the chain, and finally police confirmation of gunfire. At 09:11, The Zioneer published a bulletin citing police confirmation of signs of gunfire at the branch. The new footage now adds visual evidence.
The Japnika chain has been targeted in a series of violent incidents across Israel. As The Zioneer reported, a grenade attack occurred at the Afula branch overnight (Tue 08:03), and explosions were reported at branches in Netanya and Beersheba early Tuesday (Tue 03:03). Police suspect the incidents are linked to a criminal dispute targeting the chain. No injuries have been reported in any of the attacks.
The investigation is ongoing, and the motive remains under investigation. No suspects have been named.
