This evening (Wednesday), two unusual incidents occurred in Elad: a shrapnel grenade was thrown at the home of the municipality CEO, Amnon Maximov, and later the car of the mayor's office manager, Shimon Suissa, was set on fire. There were no casualties. Municipal sources told Walla that the concern is that the background is the municipality's recent actions to regulate the situation regarding lands and commercial centers where, according to them, takeovers had occurred. Those sources fear that those affected by the measures are now trying to harm senior officials. Footage in police possession shows a man pouring gasoline on the car and fleeing. The connection between the incidents is being investigated. The Elad municipality stated that it will not be deterred by threats and will continue to act decisively for the city's residents, in cooperation with the police.
