Israeli Crime Boss Yossi Mosli Arrested Amid Wave of Violent Attacks on Business Network
Yossi Mosli, head of a crime organization, was arrested on Tuesday evening following a series of violent incidents linked to conflicts involving his group. In recent days, branches of the Jafnika chain, owned by Barak Abramov, owner of Beitar Jerusalem football club, have been targeted in attacks stemming from a dispute between Mosli's organization and the Jarushi family.
On Tuesday morning, unknown assailants fired shots at a Jafnika branch in Herzliya. The previous day, three grenades exploded outside homes of individuals associated with Mosli in Ness Ziona, Tel Aviv, and Herzliya. In retaliation, grenades were thrown overnight at branches in Afula and Netanya, with the latter attack allegedly involving weapons stolen from the Israel Defense Forces.
Additional attacks include an attempted arson at a Givatayim branch on the weekend that failed, a bombing of a branch in Ramat Gan, and a grenade attack on a branch in Kiryat Ono. Barak Abramov is currently aligned with the Jarushi family after switching allegiance from Mosli's family following a robbery at his home. Although Abramov is not personally involved in the conflict, his businesses have been targeted due to his association.
Within one week, 17 grenades have exploded amid the conflict, alongside arson and shootings. A passerby was lightly injured and property damage was reported. The police have launched an investigation into the ongoing violence.
