Israel Halts Commercial Goods Into Gaza as Hamas Denies Tax Claims
Israel says no commercial goods have entered Gaza for two days, blaming a tax dispute between local merchants and Hamas over a 10,000-shekel fee per truck. Gaza's media office rejected the claim as disinformation, saying the fee is a voluntary contribution and that Israel imposed the restrictions. The halt threatens food and essential supplies for 2.1 million people already facing severe hunger.
