Another branch of sushi chain targeted in grenade attack amid escalating turf war
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAnother branch of the Japanika sushi chain was targeted in a grenade attack last night, reports say, amid an escalating conflict between the Jarushi and Musli crime families.
There were no injuries in the overnight attack on the restaurant in Rosh Pina.
There have been around 15 grenade and shooting attacks over the past week, many of them targeting Japanika, with one person lightly injured on Monday in south Tel Aviv in one of the explosions.
The chain is owned by Barak Abramov, who also owns the Beitar Jerusalem soccer team.
According to Walla, Abramov was initially seen as being close to the Musli family but is now thought to be tied to the Jarushi family.
