Israeli municipality crews stormed on Tuesday morning Palestinian commercial shops in Wadi al-Jouz in Occupied Jerusalem and imposed heavy taxes on the shopkeepers.
A PIC news correspondent quoted eye-witnesses as stating that Israeli soldiers and cops escorted municipal crews as they broke into Palestinian shops in Wadi al-Jouz and ordered the traders to pay steep taxes.
Tension flared up as Palestinian civilians passing through the area have been subjected to abrupt searches by the Israeli cops.
The steep taxes slapped by the Israeli occupation authorities on a systematic basis make part of underway attempts to force the Palestinian shopkeepers out of Occupied Jerusalem.
