Tax Authority inspectors were attacked this afternoon while conducting inspections of businesses in the ultra-Orthodox city of Bnei Brak. According to a report by journalist Yoele Brim, the inspectors arrived to supervise commercial activities when objects were thrown at them, forcing police to intervene and extract them from the scene. No injuries have been reported so far.
The incident is the latest in a string of violent confrontations in Bnei Brak. Last Wednesday, a similar attack on Tax Authority workers occurred in the city, prompting Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich to condemn the violence, as The Zioneer reported. Other recent incidents include clashes during a counter-protest, an attack on Shabbat activists, and a physical altercation involving a man photographing girls.
Details on whether any arrests were made or the extent of the damage remain unclear. The Tax Authority has not yet issued a statement.
