- Story Text: Palestinians in the West Bank cities took out to the streets on Friday (October 20) to protest in solidarity with Gaza.
In Hebron, some waved Russian flags and held up posters bearing the images of Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
In Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian government in the occupied West Bank, hundreds waved the red, black, white, and green Palestinian flags.
Israel has vowed to wipe out the Hamas Islamist group that rules Gaza, after its gunmen burst through the barrier fence surrounding the enclave on Oct. 7 and rampaged through Israeli towns and kibbutzes, killing 1,400 people, mainly civilians.
Israel has pounded Gaza with air strikes and put the enclave's 2.3 million people under a total siege, banning shipments even of food, fuel, and medical supplies.
Since Oct. 7, at least 4,137 Palestinians have been killed and 13,000 wounded in Gaza in Israeli strikes since Oct.7, the Palestinian health ministry said.
The U.N. says more than a million have been made homeless.
