Israel’s Jerusalem municipality crews escorted by the Israeli police on Tuesday stormed Shu’fat refugee camp.
Local sources said that the municipality crews broke into several Palestinian shops issued heavy fines to business owners and harassed workers and taxi drivers.
Palestinians in East Jerusalem have long complained that high taxes levied by the Israeli-controlled municipality make it nearly impossible to run profitable businesses.
These taxes are actually part of an Israeli plan to gradually push the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem to leave the city.
