Two weeks after the arson at the Gapanika branch in Givatayim, police arrested a young man in his 20s from Rehovot on suspicion of setting fire to the entrance. According to police, the arson is linked to the widely publicized conflict between the Mosly brothers' crime organization and the Jarushi crime organization. As part of the conflict, serious criminal incidents have occurred, including the throwing of fragmentation grenades, an explosive device, and stun grenades, as well as another attempted arson. The suspect was arrested after focused investigative efforts, including the decoding of signals intelligence and digital materials. According to police, those suspected of attacking Gapanika branches are affiliated with the Mosly brothers' organization. The conflict between the organizations apparently concerns a 'golden egg' worth tens of millions, involving prestige and power. The Mosly organization is considered the largest Jewish crime organization in Israel, while the Jarushi organization operates in the center.
