Three detained over fragmentation grenade attack at Japanika in Rosh Pina

Police arrested three suspects on Monday in connection with a fragmentation grenade attack on a Japanika restaurant in Rosh Pina on July 15. This marks the first public progress in the investigation into the incident, which saw a grenade explode and shatter a window, though no injuries were reported. Two suspects are from northern Israel, and one is from central Israel; their detention was expected to be extended by the Kiryat Shmona Magistrate's Court. This attack was part of a broader series of violent incidents, including grenade attacks, gunfire, and arson attempts, targeting Japanika branches nationwide. Police are investigating potential links to an escalating dispute between the Mosli and Jarushi crime organizations, and indictments have been issued in separate investigations concerning attacks on Japanika branches in Kiryat Ono and Givatayim.
