People in Israel have been ordered to head back to work, after its labour court ordered an end to the general strike at 14:30 local time (12:30 BST).
Israel’s biggest trade union says hundreds of thousands of people joined its general strike, aimed at forcing the government to secure a hostage release deal with Hamas.
Roads were blocked, some hospitals reduced services, and banks were closed.
Now, workers have been ordered to go back to their jobs, says Arnon Bar-David, the head of Histadrut, the union which organised Monday’s strikes.
