On Saturday, Israeli forces deployed thousands of soldiers in Hebron and forced hundreds of families, including children, women, elderly and sick people, to leave their homes and belongings without providing alternative shelter. The displacement coincided with the demolition of houses. The attack in Hebron threatens more than buildings, it risks disrupting livelihoods in one of Palestine's main economic centers. Hebron is a major center of Palestinian commerce and manufacturing, with businesses ranging from family-run workshops to larger manufacturers. Its stone and marble, leather and footwear, plastic, glass, olive oil, milk and gold sectors support jobs and livelihoods throughout the city and the surrounding area. Damage to businesses, restriction of traffic or disruption of access to markets can affect workers, suppliers and families far beyond the immediate site.
