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.

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