A one-day general strike was announced on Wednesday morning in Ras Karkar village west of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank to protest the appropriation of a vast tract of land by Jewish settlers.
Ras Karkar villagers responded to the strike by closing the entrances to their village and rallying in large numbers in the agricultural area that was bulldozed on Tuesday by Jewish settlers under military protection.
The strike is part of several protest steps the village council intends to take against settlers’ land theft and bulldozing in the village.
