Two residents of Elad were arrested overnight in connection with a series of incidents targeting city officials, including a grenade thrown at the home of the municipality's director-general and the torching of the director of the mayor's office's vehicle. The grenade was reportedly thrown at the fence of the director-general's house, prompting a police search. Shortly thereafter, the car belonging to Alon Hachmon, director of the mayor's office, was found to be on fire, with initial investigations suggesting it was arson. Police believe the two events are linked and stem from enforcement actions taken by the municipality against the two suspects. The suspects were apprehended by officers from the Rosh Ha'ayin station and transferred to the Sharon District Investigation Unit for questioning. They have been detained, and authorities plan to seek their remand extension in court.
The incidents occurred on the evening prior to the arrests, with police receiving reports of the grenade and the car fire in quick succession. The investigation is ongoing.
