Israeli Police Unveil Exclusive Footage and Indict Suspects in Violent Criminal Feud
New exclusive footage has emerged showing the violent grenade attacks during the recent criminal war between the Mosli and Jerushi crime organizations in central Israel. The footage, aired by Channel 14, captures two suspects in their twenties from Lod and Modiin attempting to attack a luxury tower in Rishon Lezion linked to the Mosli group. When one suspect fails to open the building door, he throws a grenade that narrowly misses a resident exiting with her dog.
A week later, the same suspects are seen filling a bottle with gasoline at a gas station in Lod, then traveling to Netanya where one sets fire to a luxury off-road vehicle, also damaging nearby vehicles. Two days after this arson, they attack a residential building in Ramat Gan by throwing a stun grenade before being caught minutes later by undercover police at a nearby gas station.
The Central District police's undercover unit and Rishon Lezion station detectives built a strong case leading to serious indictments against the suspects. In a related case, two 18-year-olds from Rehovot were charged for setting fire to a Japnika branch in Givatayim. Police report a 32% rise in indictments for robbery, a 64% increase in arson cases, and a 14% rise in business break-in charges over the past year.
Authorities emphasize ongoing efforts to combat organized crime and illegal weapons to restore public safety across Israel. The indictments mark a significant step in addressing the recent surge in violent criminal activity linked to the Mosli-Jerushi feud.
