Police are investigating a series of serious criminal incidents targeting senior officials in the city of Elad on Wednesday evening. The events began when an unknown assailant threw a stun grenade at the home of City Manager Amnon Maximov. Shortly thereafter, a report came in about the arson of the vehicle belonging to Shimon Suissa, the Director of the Mayor's Office. Large police forces were deployed to the scenes, collected evidence, and launched a comprehensive investigation to apprehend the suspects. These violent acts follow escalating tensions in the city, stemming from a widespread enforcement operation conducted the previous day at the "Yahalom" commercial center. The operation, involving municipal police and inspectors, focused on enforcing public order regulations, clearing goods and equipment from businesses that had illegally blocked passages and streets. Enforcement officials also demolished illegal construction additions made without permits. The police stated that all investigative avenues are being explored and no official link between the incidents has yet been proven. The Elad Municipality issued a strong condemnation of the events, asserting that no one is above the law and that these intimidation attempts will not halt their operations. A municipal spokesperson stated, "These are desperate attempts by criminal elements to instill fear in the city administration and the public, and to influence the local authority's conduct through improper threats. No threat will deter us, we will continue to act decisively for the residents of Elad, to ensure the city is a safe, orderly, and law-abiding place for everyone."
