In a hardware and building products

In a hardware and building products store opposite the grocery store, there are plenty more examples as to why it pays for Israelis to shop in the West Bank. The store owner Murad Al-Khalif says that many Israeli contractors come to him to load up their tenders with cheap goods. He sells an 18 liter can of Tambour Superkryl paint for NIS 180 compared with at least NIS 250 in nearby Kfar Saba. A folding ladder in his store costs NIS 90 compared with NIS 150 in Kfar Saba. Al-Khalif says that sales are strong on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and confidently insists that Israelis understand that the recent stabbing in Azzun was an aberration committed by a 15 year old kid who has problems with his family. The Israelis, he is sure, will continue to flock to him.
