Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have declared a comprehensive strike in condemnation of the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza.

Concurrently, the Israeli occupation closed all crossings and prevented the entry and exit of Palestinians from the occupied West Bank. Additionally, numerous roads in the area and entrances to Palestinian cities were blocked.
 
Furthermore, the occupation authorities imposed restrictions on entering al-Aqsa Mosque and assaulted several worshippers. 

In the same context, Israeli media reported that there is a high state of alert in all sectors from the Jordanian border in the north to the occupied West Bank and al-Quds.

The Israeli occupation forces also closed the military Hamra checkpoint in the northern Jordan Valley and prevented anyone from traveling.
 
It is worth noting that the number of Palestinian martyrs in the occupied West Bank has risen to six today: Karam Nasser Al-Aydi (22 years old) from Ain Sultan camp in Areeha, Amro Youssef Aabed (19 years old) from the town of Beitunia in Ramallah, Mohammad Awad Jarboa (24 years old) from the town of Beitunia in Ramallah, Yusuf Nader Idris (19 years old) from Al-Khalil, Mahmoud Basem Khamees (18 years old) from Beit Ummar in Al-Khalil, in addition to the child Ahmed Abdel Nasser Rabi (13 years old) from Qalqilya.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that Ahmed Abdel Nasser Rabi, a 13-year-old child, was critically wounded in the abdomen by Israeli occupation gunfire at the northern entrance of Qalqilya city. He was transferred to Qalqilya Governmental Hospital before doctors pronounced him a martyr after succumbing to his injuries.

Lion's Den calls on Palestinians in the West Bank to bear arms 

The Lion's Den resistance group called on Palestinians in the cities of the West Bank to confront the occupation forces in solidarity with Gaza. 

"March out with whatever weapons you process, no matter how simple they may be, go out to the streets, block the roads for the occupation army and its settlers."

The group described the Israeli occupation entity as being "paper-like", adding that "Gaza has thrown the occupation into a pit of hell."
