Two suspects have been arrested in connection with a series of violent acts against senior officials in the Elad municipality, allegedly carried out in retaliation for an eviction order issued by the city. Exclusive security camera footage obtained by Channel 12 News shows one suspect throwing a stun grenade at the home of the municipality's director-general, while another suspect is seen setting fire to the vehicle of the mayor's office director.
