The Palestinian Authority public safety committee on Sunday slaughtered 20,000 chicks smuggled from Israel in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Public safety coordinator Majid Teibi said the driver transporting the chicks did not have a certificate from the source, permission from the PA Ministry of Agriculture or a tax clearance certificate.

Teibi said chicks could not be imported from Israel except in exceptional cases which required coordination and permission from the agriculture ministry.
