An Israel Tax Authority team carrying out inspections in Bnei Brak was surrounded by a hostile crowd and had to be extracted by police, according to N12. The incident, captured on video, follows a similar attack on inspectors in the same city earlier today.
An Israel Tax Authority inspection team in Bnei Brak was surrounded by a large crowd Wednesday afternoon and had to be rescued by police, N12 reported. Footage shows the inspectors trapped near their vehicle as the crowd closed in. Police intervened to extract them. No injuries were reported, and no arrests were mentioned. The incident follows a separate attack earlier Wednesday, when a different tax authority team was pelted with eggs and objects in Bnei Brak, as The Zioneer reported at 15:05. Neither event has resulted in announced arrests, and it remains unclear what triggered the hostility or whether the two incidents are linked.
