Israeli forces kill six Palestinians in Jenin Raid; general strike in West Bank

The occupied West Bank observed a general strike yesterday, one day after Israeli forces raided a Jenin refugee camp, killing six Palestinians.  It was the latest deadly attack by Israel, which has killed at least 73 Palestinians since the start of the year.

Meanwhile, in the Palestinian village of Huwara, Israeli settlers ambushed a family, including an elderly man and a small toddler. 

The family’s grandmother, Amal Khalifa, described the attack: “We were done with shopping and got into the car. He was about to switch the car on.  Suddenly, we did not know where they’d come from.  They were like rabid dogs, attacking all at once.  We did not see them.  The road was empty.  It seems like the Israeli forces wait and lay low and hunt people down.”
