Umbrella group calls general strike in Arab community tomorrow over rampant killings

A general strike will be held tomorrow in the Arab community in protest of today’s deadly mass shooting in Yafa an-Naseriyye, the High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel umbrella group announces.

The Committee calls for protests to be held in cities and towns over the weekend.

It supports the calls within the government to involve the Shin Bet in the fight against violent organized crime in the community, which has claimed 97 lives so far this year.
