Israel says Gaza merchants are taxed and threatened and private goods deliveries halted

Single source · Gaza City, Palestine · 2026-10-15 21:16 UTC

Israel says Gazan merchants are being taxed and threatened and that private sector goods delivery in Gaza has been halted, as reported by JNS. No independent source confirms or denies this claim. A separate Middle East Eye live-blog item concerns an Israeli settlement group's plan to build a settlement facing Gaza City and does not address the merchant claim.
