Kiryat Ono

Two young men from Bat Yam, aged 18 and 22, are accused of throwing a fragmentation grenade several times at the Japanika restaurant in Kiryat Ono until it exploded, causing heavy damage. The two arrived masked on electric bicycles, and one of them is also accused of obstructing the investigation.

Two Bat Yam residents were filmed throwing a fragmentation grenade at a Japanika branch in Kiryat Ono, but it did not explode on the first two attempts. One of the suspects picked up the grenade by hand and threw it again, and on the third attempt, the explosion occurred. On Thursday, an indictment will be filed against the two.

Following their success in Tel Aviv, a renowned chef restaurant and a boutique gelateria are expanding outside the city for the first time, opening branches in a bustling Kiryat Ono complex in deals worth millions of shekels.
