General strike in W. Bank in solidarity with Gaza

WEST BANK(Palestine Foundation Information Center)A general strike was declared on Monday morning in the occupied West Bank as part of a worldwide strike staged in solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which has been exposed to a US-backed Israeli genocidal war for 66 days.

Businesses, schools, and different public facilities observed the strike and shut down their doors across the West Bank, amid angry protests and clashes with the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in different flashpoint areas.

In a statement, Palestinian resistance factions, which called for the strike, urged the citizens to participate in clashes today with the IOF across the occupied territories.

Accordingly, Palestinian citizens stopped going to their workplaces and public transportation also came to a halt.
