Good question. Most of the skyscrapers are being built by foreign workers (Chinese, Romanian, Polish) under contract from Israeli construction Companies. Many Israeli Arabs work in construction & that has continued. Palestinian Arabs who had permits to work inside the so-called green line cannot enter Israel at this time. Some Israeli construction workers, under 45, have been called up to the IDF & are serving in the reserves. Most projects are continuing to be worked on and, unless Israel finds herself in a much more destructive war with the Lebanese terrorist Hezbollah group, this is likely to continue. Like Britain during the blitz, Israelis have a strong spirit of togetherness that we continue to display during this tough time.
