Following an investigation by the Sharon District Police, an indictment is expected to be filed on Monday against the suspect in the arson of the car of the bureau chief of the mayor of Elad. During the investigation, evidence was gathered linking the suspect to the act, including clothing he wore, burns on his legs, and findings from investigative exercises. The background to the arson, according to suspicion, is revenge for the municipality's demand to close an illegal business that the suspect established together with his brother. The other brother was released to house arrest and is expected to be indicted for threats. The investigation into the throwing of a stun grenade at the home of the municipality's CEO continues, and the suspect in that act has not yet been located. The Elad municipality stated: "We will not be intimidated by criminal elements trying to intimidate residents."
