Government funding for Egged bus security came to an end:
A day after Israel Police Chief Insp.-Gen. David Cohen declared that the security situation of 2007-2008 would not return to that of 2001-2002, a unit founded to protect the public during the darkest days of the Second Intifada closed its doors on Monday.
Following a decision justified by the government as saving tens of millions of shekels, the Magen Unit, established to protect public transportation users, will be discontinued.
