A new squad of "morality police" in the West Bank have been set up to stake out people breaking the fast of Ramadan.

The month-long tradition is always observed widely, but never imposed like this.

The police in Ramallah are even detaining men who wolf whistle at women, and drivers blaring out music on car stereos.
