Shops were shuttered in Ramallah in protest against the Israeli army’s assassination of three Palestinian activists in Nablus Tuesday.
Businesses and studies were also suspended.
A general strike was observed in the major West Bank cities including Nablus, Ramallah, Jenin, and Tulkarm as calls were made to demonstrate at contact points with the Israeli army throughout the West Bank.
