Spanish clothing giant Inditex, owner of the brand Zara, announces it is “temporarily” closing its 84 stores in Israel until further notice, four days into the war between Israel and Hamas.

“Our stores will be temporarily closed and [item] return times will be extended by 20 days from their reopening,” the group, which also owns Pull&Bear, Bershka, Stradivarius, Massimo Dutti and Zara Home, says on its Israeli websites.
