Palestinians took part in a massive protest in Ramallah city center, as well as in Tulkarm, Nablus, Hebron and Bethlehem where participants carried the Palestinian flag and chanted slogans denouncing the Israeli massacres that so far left almost 3,500 people dead and more than 12,000 injured in the non-stop bombardment of the Gaza Strip since October 7.
