The launch of a massive strike shook several cities across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday in condemnation of the murder of Hamas politburo deputy chief Saleh al-Arouri.

All aspects of life were brought to a standstill after the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) along with other Palestinian factions issued a call for a major strike. 

Universities, banks, and commercial stores have all closed.

In a statement issued yesterday, Palestinian factions called for the launch of a general strike and urged Arab nations to take "decisive and immediate" action in response to the assassination of Al-Arouri and several of his comrades by Israeli forces. 

The statement further affirmed that the "resistance continues," calling for "national mourning, a general strike, and revolutionary action in all arenas and fronts."

The statement considered the targeting of al-Arouri in Lebanon and its capital city Beirut as an "aggression against the entire Arab and Islamic world, not only Lebanon and Palestine. This requires a decisive and immediate action on part of Arab countries and their free people in response to Israeli terrorism."
