Although security concerns during a Palestinian uprising that began in 2000 kept Israeli shoppers away for years, with attacks by militants on Israelis now rare in the West Bank, Israeli consumers are venturing back to an area once known as a bargain-hunter's paradise. Nabi Elyas is profiting from an influx of Jewish shoppers drawn by cheap prices and still kept out of the main Palestinian cities by Israeli security regulations. Groceries, furniture and even dental treatment are on offer in Nabi Elyas, which is packed with cars from Israel, especially during weekends.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSLQ469394|title=Palestinian village welcomes Israeli shoppers|author=Mohammed Assadi|publisher=]|date=April 26, 2009}}</ref><ref> '']''</ref>
