Issa Aluwah, a senior figure in the Jarushi crime family, was arrested on suspicion of involvement in a series of grenade attacks across Israel, according to a report by i24NEWS. The arrest comes as part of an ongoing police crackdown on the Jarushi organization, which has been linked to multiple grenade and shooting incidents in recent months. Aluwah, who is a relative and confidant of the brothers Ismail and Issam Jarushi, was arrested earlier today, with his attorney characterizing the detention as a 'show arrest' intended to calm public anger, asserting there is no evidence against his client. The arrest follows the earlier detention of Aluwah earlier today, who turned himself in at the Central District police station, as The Zioneer reported. The court granted a three-day remand extension, rejecting a police request for six days. The investigation is ongoing.
