The Palestinian factions in Gaza called the joint operations room of the resistance factions to convene immediately, to discuss ways to support the West Bank.

The factions said - in a press conference in the Strip - that the crime of the occupation in Nablus will not go unpunished.

The factions declared a general mourning and a strike in all governmental and commercial institutions and facilities in Gaza, starting from noon today until the end of the day.

The Israeli occupation forces had killed 6 Palestinians, 5 of them in Nablus, one of whom was Wadih al-Hawah, one of the most prominent leaders of the "Areen al-Aswad" group.

In addition, more than 20 Palestinians were injured during a military operation carried out by the occupation in the Old City of Nablus in the West Bank.

At a time when Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said that the strikes would continue in Nablus and Jenin, the US State Department said that it expressed to Israeli officials its concern about the escalation.
