You Must Be Kidding:
Yesterday, Ashur Jawals opened his café for the first time in two weeks. It’s very near to where Nehemia Lavi and Aharon Bennett were murdered. Shortly after the cafe reopened, two inspectors, accompanied by five police officers, entered and issued a 5,000-shekel fine, to be paid within 90 days, for the absence of no-smoking signs. Jawals, who has run the café for decades, said he’d never even been asked to post such signs, much less fined for failing to do so. (Haaretz+)
