A general strike took place in the occupied West Bank city of Jenin today in mourning for the martyrs who fell in the massacre committed by the Israeli occupation forces yesterday in the Jenin refugee camp, the Palestinian Information Centre reported. The streets of Jenin were empty, with shops closed in condemnation of Israel’s latest crimes.

Six Palestinians were killed last night in an Israeli air strike on Jenin camp.

Hamas said Israel’s strike came just hours after the launch of the national initiative to end the Palestinian Authority’s security campaign against the Jenin camp and its resistance, “and the PA’s failure to respond to it, along with the gunfire and the prevention of ambulances from entering the camp.”

It added that the PA is “responsible for its partnership in the Zionist crime and its refusal of national calls to halt its aggression against the camp.”
