A blockade around Hebron has forced out 537 families while draining 12 million shekels from the economy each day, the Ma'an news agency reported. The southern West Bank city remains cut off from surrounding areas.
The siege has shuttered markets and prevented residents from reaching jobs. Commercial activity has contracted sharply, leaving families without income or access to basic services.
