Police probe suspected grenade attack on Tel Aviv residential building

An explosion heard across northern Tel Aviv was caused by a suspected fragmentation grenade thrown at a residential tower, according to Hebrew media reports.

A suspected grenade attack occurred on Thursday in northern Tel Aviv, targeting a residential tower in the upscale Park Tzameret neighborhood. The explosion was audible across the surrounding area, including Ramat Gan, but no injuries were reported. The Tel Aviv District police have opened an investigation into the incident, which they believe to have a criminal background.

This follows a recent wave of similar grenade attacks in the Tel Aviv area, primarily targeting Japanika restaurant chain locations, resulting in property damage but no injuries. Police are investigating the possibility that the attacks are part of an escalation in the conflict between the Musli and Jarushi criminal organizations, with Abramov, the owner of Japanika, perceived as being affiliated with elements of the Jarushi family.
