Tel Aviv police arrest additional suspect in Japanika grenade attack case

Tel Aviv District Police arrested a new suspect, a Bat Yam resident in his 20s, on Tuesday in connection with the July 13 grenade attack on a Japanika restaurant in Kiryat Ono. This marks the second Bat Yam resident arrested for this incident, following the detention of an 18-year-old last Thursday. The suspect will appear before the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court for a detention extension hearing. This arrest is part of an ongoing investigation into a series of grenade attacks, a pipe bomb incident, and attempted arson targeting Japanika branches in central Israel, owned by Barak Abramov. Crime boss Yossi Musli was also arrested in connection with these attacks.
