Two incidents targeting senior Elad Municipality officials occurred Wednesday evening, with no injuries reported. The director-general's home was targeted by a fragmentation grenade, and the car belonging to the head of the mayor's office was set on fire.
Sources within the municipality suspect the attacks are linked to recent actions taken by the city to regulate land and commercial centers where alleged takeovers had occurred. These sources fear that individuals negatively impacted by these regulatory measures are now seeking to harm municipal leaders.
Police received a report of a loud explosion at the director-general's residence, followed by a report of a car fire in Elad. The vehicle was identified as belonging to the head of the mayor's office. Security footage reportedly shows a man pouring gasoline on the car before fleeing.
The investigation into both incidents is in its early stages, and authorities are examining a potential connection between the grenade attack and the arson. The municipality issued a statement asserting that they will not be deterred by threats and will continue to act decisively for the city's residents, emphasizing their commitment to public order and law enforcement in cooperation with the police.
