Police are investigating a suspected arson attempt at a Japnika branch in Haifa, according to N12. The incident is the latest in a series of attacks on the restaurant chain, including a grenade thrown at a branch in Rosh Pina overnight.
The Haifa incident is the latest in a wave of attacks targeting Japnika branches across Israel. As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, a grenade was thrown at the Rosh Pina branch overnight, causing damage but no injuries (bulletins, Wed 07:21 Jerusalem). Previous attacks include explosions in Netanya and Beersheba early Tuesday, gunfire found at the Herzliya branch on Tuesday, and a grenade attack in Afula on Tuesday. Police suspect the series is part of an ongoing criminal dispute. No injuries have been reported in any of the incidents. The investigation in Haifa is in its early stages; no further details are available.
