During an enforcement operation against defective vehicles, the Israel Police stopped a truck for inspection on Monday and discovered defects that endanger other vehicles and drivers..
When officers asked to conduct a thorough inspection of the truck's cargo area, they discovered to their astonishment that hundreds of kilograms of meat had been transported without sanitary conditions, including a lack of refrigeration, and was allegedly smuggled out of the Palestinian Authority illegally. An initial investigation revealed that the meat was on its way to be distributed throughout Jerusalem, ostensibly as fresh meat. The truck driver, a resident of eastern Jerusalem, was detained for questioning and the truck was taken off the road.
