Angry protesters have taken to the streets in Tel Aviv and other cities in the Israeli-occupied Palestinian lands to condemn the failure of prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet to reach a ceasefire agreement that would secure release of captives held in Gaza.

A general strike is underway in the Israeli-occupied lands as protesters vent their anger over prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet’s failure to reach a ceasefire agreement that would release the Israeli captives still held in Gaza.

A coalition of Palestinian factions has called for an international strike in support of the Palestinians who have been under Israeli bombardment for the past two months.

Public facilities and services, as well as shops in the Arab towns, closed their doors in response to the decision of the Follow-Up Committee for the Arab People to declare a general and comprehensive strike, with schools joining after the third period, and to join in protest marches in Arab cities, towns and villages.

The national forces declared the strike that affected all aspects of life in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in protest against the Israeli crime that led to the death of  Adnan, 44, and held the occupation government fully responsible for his death.

Secretary-General of Fatah movement in Jenin, Ata Abu Rmeileh, said that heading a call from nationalist factions, Palestinians are observing a one-day general strike to mourn the killing of four Palestinians in a surreptitious Israeli raid on Jenin on Thursday.

Shops were shuttered in all West Bank cities, schools and universities suspended studies and businesses shut down as people marched in the cities denouncing the Israeli aggression and killings, as well as international silence to the crimes committed by the Israeli occupiers.
