Police announced in a statement on Monday that they have concluded an investigation involving a fragmentation grenade<\/a> thrown at a Japanika<\/a> restaurant branch in Kiryat Ono last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An 18-year-old resident of Bat Yam was reportedly arrested about two days after the incident. Later that week, police apprehended a second suspect, a 22-year-old who also lives in Bat Yam.<\/a><\/p>\n

Searches were conducted at the homes of both suspects, where investigators seized evidence and clothing items linking them to the incident.<\/p>\n

The investigation revealed that the two suspects arrived at the scene around 2:00 a.m. on July 13 on a two-wheeled vehicle. They threw the fragmentation grenade toward the entrance of the business before fleeing the scene.<\/p>\n

According to the police statement, a prosecutor has filed charges against both suspects.<\/p>\n

In the statement, police also clarified that the incident is linked to conflicts among criminal gangs.<\/p>\n

On the same day as the grenade attack, eight other branches of the food chain were damaged as part of a dispute between the Jarushi and Mosli crime organizations, according to a KAN\u00a0News report.<\/p>\n

Most of the affected branches are operated as franchises by the Jarushi family, which manages the franchises under the chain’s owner, businessman and Beitar Jerusalem owner Barak Abramov.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, according to sources familiar with the matter, Abramov himself is not currently a suspect in the case.<\/p>\n
