A general strike swept the streets of the occupied West Bank in response to the assassination of Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The strike was initiated by various political forces, factions, unions, and civil institutions to express anger over the crime, resulting in the closure of governmental and civil institutions along with shops.
Mosques in the West Bank mourned Haniyeh and called for participation in the general strike, following Hamas’ announcement of his martyrdom in an Israeli raid on his residence in Tehran. The assassination has sparked widespread condemnation and solidarity among Palestinians.
This act of violence has not only targeted an influential Palestinian leader but has also ignited a strong response from the community, showcasing unity and resilience in the face of adversity.
Let us stand together in solidarity against injustice and violence, and honor the memory of those who have sacrificed for the Palestinian cause.
