Palestinian resistance groups have declared a comprehensive strike and mass demonstrations in various cities across the occupied West Bank to protest the assassination of a prominent figure, Haniyeh. The strike, reported by local media, began today with participation in major cities such as Ramallah and Nablus.
In response to Haniyeh’s assassination, Palestinian resistance groups called for a strike and demonstrations to express their outrage. The protests aim to draw international attention to the incident and the ongoing tensions in the region. The resistance groups emphasized the need for unity among Palestinians in the face of such provocations.
An-Najah University in Nablus also joined the strike, issuing a statement urging the suspension of work hours to mourn Haniyeh. The university’s administration highlighted the importance of solidarity during this critical time and encouraged students and faculty to participate in the demonstrations. The statement underscored the impact of Haniyeh’s assassination on the community and the necessity of a collective response.
Local reports indicate that businesses, schools, and public institutions in Ramallah and Nablus have largely heeded the call for a strike, with streets in these cities showing reduced activity.
The assassination of Haniyeh has heightened tensions in the already volatile region, with Palestinian leaders urging calm and restraint while advocating for peaceful protests. The comprehensive strike and demonstrations are expected to continue throughout the day, with further actions likely in the coming days as the community processes this event and its implications.
