A gang of young men from Beitar Illit has been arrested for repeatedly setting fire to Cafe Bandita in Ramat Gan because it operated on the Sabbath. The cafe was targeted in three separate arson attacks, with the fourth attempt leading to the suspects' capture by police. The group reportedly received payment for carrying out the attacks, which are part of ongoing tensions between secular and Haredi communities over businesses open on the Sabbath. Footage from the crime scenes was released by the authorities. The police continue to investigate the case amid rising incidents of violence against secular businesses in the area.
