Two residents of Elad, aged in their 20s and 30s, were arrested overnight on suspicion of throwing a stun grenade at a house fence and setting a car on fire. Authorities believe the incidents were directed against two senior city officials and were motivated by enforcement actions taken by the municipality against the suspects.
The events occurred on Thursday evening when police were called to Elad following a report of a stun grenade being thrown at a fence. Shortly thereafter, another report came in about a car fire, which initial investigations suggested was arson.
Police from the Rosh HaAyin station launched an operation to find those involved and apprehended the two Elad residents during the night. They were taken for questioning by the Sharon district's central investigation unit and are currently being held. Police are expected to request an extension of their detention at a court hearing later today as the investigation continues.
