General strike takes place in West Bank’s cites in protest against killing of three Palestinians

OCCUPIED PALESTINE, Feb. 09 (YPA) – A general strike on Tuesday hit the major West Bank cities including Nablus, Ramallah, Jenin,and Tulkarm in protest against the Israeli occupation army assassination of three Palestinians in Nablus.

Shops and businesses were today shuttered and studies were suspended in protest against the Israeli army assassination, as calls were made to demonstrate at contact points with the Israeli army throughout the West Bank.

On Tuesday, a Zionist special army force opened fire at a car in Nablus killing three of its occupants alleging they were responsible for opening fire at Israeli military posts.

The killing of the three activists sparked widespread condemnation in the occupied territories and in the diaspor

The people of Nablus mourned their three sons and declared a full-scale strike.

Meanwhile, Hebrew media last night expressed fears of the coming hours after the enemy carried out the assassination of the three Palestinians in Nablus.

The Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot said the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades threatened to respond to the killing  of three of its members in Nablus, saying: “The blood of the martyrs will not go to waste and the retaliation  is coming and will meet blood with blood.”

Yediot newspaper reported that shortly after the assassination in the West Bank, a settler entered Nablus by car and was chased by Palestinians, causing him to flee and leaving the car, apparently unharmed.

“The coming hours are dangerous, there may be other members of the same cell that was in the car who will try to carry out a retaliatory operation,” said Tal Lev-Ram, reporter for Maariv newspaper.
