Hebron Economy Under Fire
The Israeli blockade and military operations in Hebron have left around 4,800 people displaced or otherwise affected in the areas of Ain Deir Bakha and al-Jelda. More than 3,300 have been displaced and around 1,500 are under siege. Some 370 businesses have been forced to close, and nearly 1,000 jobs have been lost. Economic losses are estimated at around 12 million shekels a day, as factories, supply chains, education and services are disrupted, with the impact spreading to other Palestinian governorates. Experts warn that isolating Hebron—which accounts for at least 45% of Palestinian industrial capacity—threatens the national economy and sustainable development. Analysts say the continued operation could pave the way for an expansion of displacement and isolation measures across the West Bank.
