Jerusalem municipality to outfit inspectors with stab-proof vests
Jerusalem city hall is outfitting its inspectors with padded vests that will protect them from knife attacks, Army Radio reports.
The decision comes as the capital is suffering from a string of knife attacks, including an attack this evening that left a 70-year-old woman with moderate to serious wounds. The vests will be issued to inspectors working in the center of the city and other areas deemed to be high risk.
The municipality says it hopes the vests will give the inspectors a sense of security as they work.
