A general strike began in the West Bank on Sunday in protest against Israeli military operations involving dead Palestinians in a refugee camp in Tulkarem and in the Gaza Strip. The Fatah movement, among others, called for the strike. According to eyewitnesses, there was hardly any traffic on the streets of Ramallah on Sunday morning and shops were closed.
Israeli soldiers killed several Palestinians again on Sunday, including a woman. The military said the 43-year-old was “knocked out” when she tried to attack soldiers with a knife at an army blockade in the West Bank. The soldiers shot the woman.

In the West Bank, an Israeli settler was slightly injured on Sunday when he removed a Palestinian flag near a road and an explosive device detonated.
