Despite enforcement efforts, crime organizations are not deterred

Despite enforcement efforts, the wave of fragmentation grenade attacks continues. Last night, two more incidents occurred in Tel Aviv and Ramla, where fragmentation grenades were thrown at a residential building and a branch of 'Rami Levy Hashikma'. In both cases, no injuries were reported, and police assess that these are disputes between crime organizations. Meanwhile, additional suspects were arrested in connection with the arson at the Japanika branch and possession of weapons.

Despite enforcement efforts, the wave of fragmentation grenade attacks continues. Last night (between Wednesday and Thursday), two more incidents were recorded: in Tel Aviv, a fragmentation grenade was thrown at a residential building in the Park Tzameret neighborhood, and at the Ramlod Mall in Ramla, a weapon was thrown at a branch of 'Rami Levy Hashikma'. In both cases, no injuries were reported, and police assess that these are disputes between crime organizations. The incidents come against the backdrop of a series of violent events, and meanwhile, another suspect, an 18-year-old resident of Rehovot, was arrested on suspicion of involvement in the arson at the Japanika branch in Givatayim. Additionally, a 35-year-old resident of Bat Yam was arrested on suspicion of transporting illegal weapons in his vehicle, and during a search, two standard IDF fragmentation grenades were seized. His detention was extended at the Magistrate's Court.
