Usage
Native speakers use the word 'מבצעים' (mevats'im) in shopping contexts, often when discussing sales, discounts, or special offers. For example, you might hear it in a conversation about a major holiday sale at a department store or when friends are planning to go shopping for end-of-season deals.
Synonyms & nuances

However, while 'מבצעים' refers to specific deals or promotions, 'הנחות' focuses more on the reduction in price. You would choose 'מבצעים' when emphasizing the event of a sale rather than just the price reduction.
Culture
The word 'מבצעים' has its roots in the Hebrew verb 'לבצע' (levatze'a), which means 'to execute' or 'to perform'. In the context of deals, it signifies the execution of a bargain or special promotion. In Israel, sales events like Black Friday and Hanukkah sales have popularized the use of 'מבצעים', making it a staple in both retail and everyday conversations.
