History

Historical Context

In 1994 Israel saw a spike in violent crime, from the Baruch Goldstein massacre that killed 29 Palestinians and sparked Hamas suicide bombings, to the Mizrahi-Aharon mafia war where police seized twelve grenades and arrested five family members. The July 2026 Japanika restaurant blasts, carried out by the Mosli and Jarushi clans, revive that legacy, prompting Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir’s new arms-tracking task force.
