Violence Escalates in Musli-Jerushi Crime Feud with Attacks on Barak Abramov’s Japnika Chain
The violent conflict between the Musli and Jerushi crime families intensified overnight with five separate attacks in central Israel, all targeting locations linked to the Musli family. Police are investigating whether these incidents are coordinated as part of the ongoing gang feud. No casualties were reported, but property damage occurred in all cases.
During the night, grenades were thrown at two branches of the Japnika chain, owned by businessman and Beitar Jerusalem owner Barak Abramov. A fire broke out at the Netanya branch following an explosion. Additional grenades damaged a business in a residential building in Rishon Lezion and a private home in Tel Aviv. In the morning, police received reports of gunfire at a Japnika branch in Herzliya, where bullet marks were found on the storefront.
Earlier, a grenade was thrown near a Musli family associate at the Rehovot junction in Herzliya, causing minor damage to several parked vehicles. Police suspect military-grade weapons stolen from the army were used in some attacks. This recent surge follows a week of heightened violence, including at least 15 grenades thrown in the Tel Aviv and central Israel area, targeting over five Japnika branches.
Barak Abramov was previously considered close to the Musli brothers but is now associated with the Jerushi family. His name has appeared in investigations related to the gang conflict. Police warn the escalation could soon lead to fatalities if not contained. Investigations continue across multiple police stations to identify perpetrators and connections between the attacks. No arrests have been made so far.
