Israeli Police Arrest Two Suspects After Grenade Attack in Ramat Gan Amid Crime Family Feud

Two suspects were arrested on Thursday morning in Ramat Gan following a police chase, after allegedly throwing a grenade into a residential building's courtyard. The explosion caused damage but no injuries. Authorities believe the suspects are linked to an ongoing violent conflict between the Mosli and Jarushi crime families. The suspects fled the scene on Shalom Aleichem Street but were quickly apprehended by the Central District's anti-crime unit.

This incident is part of a broader surge in organized crime violence in central Israel, prompting an unusual warning from the U.S. Embassy in Israel. The embassy highlighted increased attacks involving hand grenades or stun grenades targeting homes, businesses, and vehicles, primarily in Tel Aviv, Jaffa, and Herzliya. Many attacks reportedly involve assailants on motorcycles.

Recent related events include a grenade explosion last Wednesday at a "Japnika" restaurant branch in Rosh Pina, and multiple grenade attacks the night before last in cities including Rishon Lezion, Tel Aviv, Afula, and Netanya. There was also a shooting incident at another branch in Herzliya. Police suspect these attacks are connected to the Mosli-Jarushi feud and may target the restaurant chain owned by businessman Barak Abramov.

The police continue investigations into these violent episodes as the crime families' conflict escalates, raising concerns about public safety in affected areas.
