Grenade thrown at under-construction Japanika in Hadera as attacks against sushi chain continue

A flash grenade was thrown at a construction site of a Japanika sushi restaurant chain in Hadera, Israel, marking another attack in a series targeting the chain's locations. The incidents, which include previous grenade throws, pipe bombs, and shootings in multiple cities, are linked to an ongoing conflict between two criminal organizations, Musli and Jarushi. Businessman Barak Abramov, owner of Japanika and owner of Beitar Jerusalem football club, is associated with the Jarushi family, making his restaurants targets of the Musli group. The attacks are believed to stem from a dispute involving millions of dollars in cryptocurrency. No injuries were reported in the latest incident.
