#Palestinians across the occupied #WestBank observed a general strike on Wednesday in protest against a new Israeli law allowing the execution of prisoners, as international condemnation mounted.

#Fatah, the movement led by #PalestinianAuthority President #MahmoudAbbas, called for the strike, describing the legislation as a “dangerous escalation” against Palestinians.

“This criminal law will not break the will of our people or the determination of our prisoners, but will instead strengthen our resolve to continue the struggle for their freedom and legitimate rights,” it said in a statement.

For over a year, #Israel, Washington and even #Lebanon’s government have been speaking as if #Hezbollah has been broken for good.

Yet the #Lebanese armed movement is once again at war with Israel, striking its enemy in response to the #US-Israeli war on #Iran.

Its performance on the battlefield and ability to strike deep into Israeli territory shows that Hezbollah treated its 15 months of ceasefire with Israel not as an end to war, but as a narrow and urgent window to rebuild, reorganise and prepare for what it believed would inevitably come next.
