Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe grenade attacks last night at a number of locations in central Israel, some of them targeting branches of the Japanika sushi chain, are part of an escalating conflict between the Jarushi and Musli crime families, Hebrew-language media reports.
According to reports, there have been around 15 grenade attacks over the past week amid the feud.
The Japanika chain is owned by Barak Abramov, who also owns the Beitar Jerusalem soccer team.
According to the Walla news site, Abramov was initially seen as being close to the Musli family but is now thought to be tied to the Jarushi family.
