In the world of Israeli crime, as befits an underworld, there is a tradition of assassinations aimed at the highest, at the heads of crime organizations. The assumption is that the elimination of the head of the organization - will lead to the dissolution of the organization in which he stands and the evacuation of the living space for a competing organization. We decided to review this bloody history of the criminal organizations in Israel in recent years. Unfortunately, experience says that the list will only go on and on even now after the elimination of the criminal Bnei Shlomo.
