Police accompanied by veterinary inspectors operating in the Israeli Arab municipality of Dir el-Assad uncovered ten tons of meat from illegal slaughter in a local butcher shop. The meat was confiscated and will be destroyed.
In addition, a 22-year-old PA (Palestinian Authority) resident inside Green Line Israel illegally, employed in the butcher shop, was taken into custody together with the 40-year-old owner.
Health officials stress the illegal meat poses a major health hazard to the public at large.

What makes meat illegal slaughter?
To No. 1
If the schlachthois advertised as having chassideshe hashgacha but c’v it was just a poishete hashgacha or no hashgacha at all, that would be illegal and meat would be treated as treifus. Same if the meat came from a so-calld “hallal” schechita or anyting like that.
