Arab sector to strike in protest of demolitions
The Arab Higher Committee has called for a national strike of the Arab sector in Israel tomorrow to protest the house demolitions that took place today in the Bedouin village of Umm al-Hiran, according to Joint (Arab) List MK Aida Touma-Sliman.
Businesses will close across the country but children will go to school for three hours to learn about the demolitions, Touma-Sliman says.
