(Ha'aretz) Avi Issacharoff - New car dealerships are springing up in the West Bank, reflecting the economic growth. Today the streets are lined with just-bought models.

A shopping mall has opened on the ground floor of a new Nablus office building. The city center is thriving, the open-air markets, clothing stores and cafes are bustling.
