Palestinian merchants in the city of Hebron, located in the West Bank, have reopened their shops in the Hebron market with the arrival of Ramadan, despite the market's closure imposed by Israeli occupation forces. The traders reported to Al Jazeera that the Israeli military had intensified its pressure on them specifically before the holy month. Many shopkeepers emphasized that, despite provocations and obstacles set by the Israeli security forces, they are determined to continue operating in the market.

The occupation has reportedly shut down more than 1,000 shops in the market, yet the traders remain committed to revitalizing their businesses despite these actions. Some merchants like Ouda Naser express that reopening these stores is essential for revitalizing the local economy. Citizens, such as Muhammad Abd Al-Jawad, note that reopening stores during Ramadan plays a significant role in bringing life back to Hebron after a period of stagnation imposed by the occupation.

Traders insist that reviving Hebron's market is not only about business but also about cultural resilience and maintaining their community's spirit under prolonged Israeli restrictions. The renewed activity in the market during Ramadan is seen as a form of resistance against the occupation's attempts to control and monopolize the area, reflecting the traders' determination to foster economic activity even amidst adversity.
