A shrapnel grenade was thrown last night (between Wednesday and Thursday) at a branch of the 'Rami Levy Stock' chain under construction in Ramla. The explosion shattered the glass on the automatic entrance doors of the branch, which is expected to open this month. Workers cleaned up the shards this morning to prepare the branch for its expected opening by the end of August. The police are investigating the circumstances of the incident, and currently there is no focus on a specific motive. The Rami Levy chain refused to comment on the circumstances. In another incident last night, a shrapnel grenade was thrown at a tower in the luxury neighborhood of Tzameret Park in northern Tel Aviv, causing damage at the entrance to one of the towers. In recent weeks, there has been a series of incidents involving grenade throwing, shootings, and arson attempts, including at branches of the 'Japanika' chain across the country, apparently against the backdrop of a conflict between crime organizations. The sequence of events led the US Embassy to issue an unusual warning to American citizens in Israel.
