Shops were boarded up and streets deserted in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus after a one-day general strike was called over Israel's attack on Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian death toll since the outbreak of war now exceeds 8,500 Palestinians, including 3,542 children and 2,187 women.
At least 1,400 Israelis were killed in Israel during the 7 October attack by Hamas, mainly civilians.
