01 · THE DISPATCH

The Benedetta cafe in Ramat Gan was set on fire Wednesday evening for the third time, according to reports from the scene. An anonymous note left at the premises reportedly attributed the arson to the cafe's Saturday operation, citing the law that allows municipalities to fine businesses for opening on the Jewish day of rest. No injuries were reported. As The Zioneer previously reported, a different cafe in Ramat Gan — Emerge — was also firebombed earlier this evening under similar circumstances. The incidents appear to be part of a pattern of arson attacks targeting businesses that operate on Saturdays in the city.
