2 arrested on suspicion of firing anti-tank missile at empty apartment in Kiryat Ata

Police say they arrested two Kiryat Ata residents on suspicion of firing an anti-tank missile at an empty apartment in the northern city last night.

There were no injuries in the incident.

Officers plan to bring the suspects, ages 44 and 66, to court to request to extend their detention. The investigation is ongoing.

It is unclear how the suspects were in possession of both the missile and the means to fire it.

According to the Ynet news site, police are investigating whether the apartment owner targeted in the attack owed money to criminal organizations.
