General strike in occupied West Bank after Israeli troops kill Palestinian man
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – Workers across the occupied West Bank launched a general strike on Thursday to mourn the killing of 22-year-old Palestinian man Udai Tamimi by Israeli forces.
The Fatah movement in a statement called for intensified confrontations with Israeli forces in all areas across the West Bank.
The Palestinian teachers union announced a suspension of work in all schools to protest the Israeli assaults on Palestinians.
Late on Wednesday, the Israeli forces shot dead Tamimi as he exchanged fire with soldiers near a settlement in occupied East Jerusalem.
The Israeli forces said he was responsible for an attack last week that left an Israeli soldier dead and another injured.
