The West Bank has witnessed a comprehensive general strike on Wednesday, as a powerful expression of condemnation against the continuous Israeli aggression on Gaza, now extending into its twelfth consecutive day. This strike also marks outrage over the heinous massacre perpetrated by Israeli forces through the bombing of the Al-Muadamiya Hospital in Gaza City, resulting in the tragic loss of hundreds of lives overnight.
The strike, organized and supported by national and Islamic forces in the northern West Bank, brought everyday life to a standstill. Universities, banks, financial institutions, and commercial shops all closed their doors. The strike call received enthusiastic responses from the Palestinian masses, urging them to persist in confrontations with the occupation across all regions, streets, and squares.
Public transportation services came to a halt on all routes, while factories and plants ceased their operations. The Palestinian territories draped themselves in mourning, with flags lowered at official Palestinian institutions throughout the West Bank.
This general strike serves as a powerful demonstration of solidarity with the people of Gaza, who have been enduring relentless Israeli attacks. It also echoes the deep sense of sorrow and anger felt across the Palestinian territories in response to the horrifying assault on Al-Muadamiya Hospital, which has left countless families mourning the loss of their loved ones.
As the world watches these events unfold, the general strike sends a clear message of unity and resilience from the Palestinian people in the face of ongoing adversity, emphasizing their unwavering determination to resist and seek justice for the victims of the Israeli onslaught.
