WEST BANK, Wednesday, October 18, 2023 (WAFA) - A general strike is observed across the West Bank governorates on Wednesday to denounce the ongoing Israeli aggression for the 12th consecutive day on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli aggression on Palestinians, and the heinous massacre committed by the occupation forces by bombing the Baptist Hospital in the city of Gaza, in which hundreds of Palestinians were killed.

The strike was called for by the national and Islamic forces in the northern governorates and affected all aspects of life as universities, banks, and shops were closed, amid calls to continue confronting the occupation in all regions, streets, and squares.

The strike also affected public transportation as people's movement was slight due factories being closed.
