the head of the Bnei Shlomo crime organization, who was eliminated today (Monday), has already survived two assassination attempts in the ongoing struggle between the largest crime organizations in Israel.
His opponents are considered to be Shalom Domerani and members of the Lavi family.
At the beginning of his career, he grew up in the city of Rehovot, where he connected with local crime figures.
Among his friends at that time were also Amos and Ofir Lavi - later heads of a criminal organization themselves and rivals of his criminal organization.

His brother was murdered when he left his home
Later, he and his brother were senior members of Shalom Domarni's organization, who shared them in all his sensitive business.
However, later on, Beni and his brother Shalom withdrew from Shalom Domarni's organization, and founded their own criminal organization.
The retirement, which was around 2013, was accompanied by a lot of tension when some of Domrani's people left with the brothers.
This move was accompanied by several criminal incidents in 2013-2015.
It was about placing charges under vehicles as well as explosions in the cities of Ashkelon Ashdod and Kiryat Gat.
He usually escaped the hands of the law enforcement agencies. Sons of Solomon,
Over the years, the battles between the various crime organizations escalated and Bani's brother, Shalom, was murdered while leaving his home in Moshav Telamim in September 2015. Bani Shlomo himself survived two very significant assassination attempts in 2013 and 2014.
Suspected of distributing fictitious invoices
Beyond the assassination attempts by the people of the underworld, Bnei Shlomo had a rich past with the Israel Police that also included an attack on a policeman as well as serving a sentence of 8 months in prison in 2016 and 9 months in prison in 2019.

However, despite the charges against him, he usually eluded the hands of law enforcement.
An example of this is his arrest in 2020, when he was arrested with 35 people from his organization and suspected of money laundering and distributing fictitious invoices worth half a billion shekels.
Despite the heavy suspicions, he is released in the end.
He was also arrested on suspicion of attempted murder of a rival in the underworld, but no charges were brought against him for this arrest either.
