According to N12, police are examining whether the incident in Hadera is connected to the wave of attacks attributed to the Mosli and Jarushi crime families. The suspicion is that the conflict between the families is the background to a series of attacks, including the targeting of Japnika branches owned by businessman Barak Abramov.
According to N12 journalist Sharon Knoblich, police are now investigating whether the grenade attack at a Japnika branch under construction in Hadera earlier this morning is linked to the ongoing violent feud between the Mosli and Jarushi crime families. The wave of attacks attributed to the feud has included arson, explosive devices, and grenades at Japnika branches across the country, which are owned by businessman Barak Abramov, who may be a target of the feud.
The Zioneer reported earlier today (Sun 06:28 Jerusalem) that a fragmentation grenade was thrown at the Hadera Japnika branch, which is still under construction. Police opened an investigation and stated they had no record of prior threats against the business owner. Bomb disposal technicians collected evidence at the scene. No injuries were reported. The current update represents a shift in the investigation, as authorities now explore a connection to the broader criminal feud.
The Mosli-Jarushi feud has been a recurring subject in Israeli crime reporting for weeks. The Zioneer has reported on a series of incidents: explosions at Japnika branches in Netanya and Beersheba on July 14, a grenade attack in north Tel Aviv on July 16, and a suspected arson attempt at a Haifa Japnika branch on July 15. The feud has also prompted mediation efforts, including the involvement of a sports figure, as The Zioneer reported on July 21.
The investigation into the Hadera incident is ongoing, and authorities have not yet confirmed a direct link to the Mosli-Jarushi feud. No further details on the nature of the Hadera incident were provided in the report.
