Eli Hirshman: Tax Authority team surrounded by mob in Bnei Brak, rescued by police

A Tax Authority inspection team was surrounded by a crowd in Bnei Brak, reportedly trapped in their vehicle and rescued by police, according to a report by Eli Hirshman.

A Tax Authority inspection team was surrounded by a hostile crowd in Bnei Brak on Wednesday afternoon, and had to be rescued by police, according to a report by Eli Hirshman. The team's vehicle was reportedly trapped before police extracted them. The incident follows an earlier, separate attack on a tax inspection team in the same city around 15:05, when eggs and objects were thrown at staff, with no injuries or arrests reported at the time. The current episode appears to involve a larger mob; details on injuries, arrests, or the specific location within Bnei Brak have not yet been released.
