Tel Aviv police arrest two in connection to arson attack targeting Japanika branch in Givatayim
On Tuesday, at the conclusion of the investigation, prosecutors' declarations were filed against the two suspects ahead of indictments on the offenses attributed to them.
On July 12, two masked men arrived at a Japanika restaurant in Givatayim, parked a two-wheeled vehicle, and set fire to the establishment. The arson attack caused damage to the building and interior of the restaurant, but fortunately, no one was injured. This incident was part of a series of attacks targeting Japanika branches across central Israel, which were linked to a dispute between the Musli and Jarushi crime organizations.
The Musli crime family boss, Yossi Musli, was arrested on July 14 in connection to the wave of attacks. The Tel Aviv District Central Unit, using technological means, was able to identify the two suspects involved in the Givatayim attack.
