Rush to shops reported amid egg shortage before Passover

Israel’s coronavirus-instigated nationwide egg shortage, a day before a holiday famous for its egg-based dishes, has led to scenes across the country of people lining up to buy eggs and storming shops for cartons.

In Rishon Lezion, Ynet reports, police were called to one of the last shops to stock eggs to try and restore order, as well as to enforce social-distancing rules between customers.

In Beit Shemesh, a video showed dozens accosting a truck handing out trays.
