Palestinians observe general strike to honor young man killed in West Bank

Palestinian resistance factions called for the strike and urged Palestinians to take to the streets to denounce Tamimi’s killing and other acts of violence by the Israeli regime, including the ongoing blockade on Nablus.

The Israeli regime has intensified its deadly crackdown on Palestinians in the occupied territories.

According to the Health Ministry, a total of 174 Palestinians, including 41 minors, were killed by Israeli forces since the start of 2022.

It added that 123 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank and 51 others in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Israeli regime occupied the West Bank during a heavily-Western-backed war in 1967. Ever since, it has dotted the territory with hundreds of illegal settlements that have come to house more than 600,000 Israeli settlers.
