Two Israeli Businessmen Murdered Hours Apart in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley

  • Two Israeli businessmen, Aleksandre Modebadze and Meni Hidhra, were found murdered on Saturday in their San Fernando Valley homes in Los Angeles.
  • Modebadze was attacked during a home invasion by three Georgian nationals who restrained and beat him to death, while police have not linked this to Hidhra's killing or disclosed his cause of death.
  • Modebadze, aged 47, was found with severe head trauma in Woodland Hills after being held captive for hours, and Hidhra was discovered in Valley Village, identified as the brother of Israel's Nitzan Prison warden.
  • Authorities arrested and charged the three Georgian suspects—Pata Kochiashvili, Zaza Otarashvili, and Besiki Kutsishvili—who are held on $2 million bail each, while police released photos of a separate Hispanic male suspect for Hidhra's murder.
  • The LAPD continues to investigate both homicides with no current evidence linking them, amid rising hate crimes targeting Los Angeles’ Jewish community by 153% over the past year.
