As they operate in all areas of the country, Israel Tax Authority inspectors on Monday, 12 Tammuz, arrived in Meah Shearim to inspect stores to assure they are recording income in compliance with law.

Unlike operating in other areas, in Meah Shearim, the inspectors were accompanied by a large police force for their own safety. In recent months, there have been numerous incidents where they were met with violent protests.

The day passed uneventfully for inspectors.
