Inspectors taxed about Sabbath raid
NZPA-Reuter Tel Aviv Israel’s Government tax inspectors have been criticised by the religious Finance Minister for raiding a kibbutz flea-market on the Jewish Sabbath. The market had been a target of Orthodox members of Parliament, who said it violated the sanctity of the rest day. Tax inspectors raided the market at Kibbutz Nir
Eliahu, an agricultural settlement north of Tel Aviv, to check whether vendors were issuing receipts and-declaring their income.
The Finance Minister, Mr Moshe Nissim, demanded an explanation from the income tax authorities why the taxmen were desecrating the Sabbath by working on the holy day.
