The bombarded Gaza Strip is expected to be the subject of a major offensive in the coming hours or days. The death toll is also rising in the West Bank, where it now stands at 44.

Day of Rage at the end of prayer, Friday, October 13, in Al Bireh (West Bank). The meeting took place in front of an Israeli military base. Not everyone here shares Hamas’s ideas, but everyone is in solidarity with the civilian population of Gaza. “It’s terrible what’s happening there, I can’t describe it. We are here because of Gaza, we are the same people,” admits one man.

The demonstration was dispersed with tear gas and live ammunition. Injuries were reported in Al Bireh and several deaths in other West Bank cities. Before that day of anger, 30 Palestinians had already died in the West Bank since the Hamas attack.

Among them is Randa Ajaj, a 37-year-old woman who was killed by a group of Israeli settlers on her way home on Thursday. Her husband drove after dark. He slowed down in front of a roadblock that he mistook for an Israeli army.
