Israeli atrocities
Israeli forces have killed a young Palestinian man and injured another in their new attack in the occupied West Bank. Palestinians media said regime forces ambushed the young men and opened fire at their vehicle near the city of Al-Bireh. One of the victims, identified as Mohammed Roummaneh, succumbed to his injuries. The Hamas resistance movement says Roummaneh and his companion were its members. It said in a statement that he was a hero and was killed while trying to defend the freedom of Palestinians. Now, Palestinian media report confrontations between Israeli troops and Palestinian protesters in various areas of the West Bank, notably in the city of Tulkarm. In Ariha, a Palestinian youth was injured the Israeli fire. Palestinians today are observing a general strike in Ramallah and other regions in the West Bank.
Burkina Faso politics
Hundreds of people have rallied in Burkina Faso's capital Ouagadougou in a show of support for the ruling military leaders. The protesters waved national flags and held signs in support of the country's young military leader Captain Ibrahim Traore. He took power on September 30 last year after ousting the leader of another coup who had seized power eight months prior. Traore has gained popularity through his anti-French speeches. He has also kicked out French troops and restricted French media amid tensions between France and former colony Burkina Faso.
US autoworkers strike
In the US, thousands more autoworkers have joined the ongoing strike against the country's three major car manufacturers over pay and other issues. The biggest US automobile workers' union says that walkouts now leave a total of some 25,000 workers on strike in 21 states. The latest union members who joined the industrial action are at two plants in Chicago and Michigan. This is the first-ever joint strike at Ford, GM and Stellantis known as the "Big Three" Detroit automakers. The union says sufficient progress has not been made in talks. It has asked for a 40 percent pay raise over the next four-year contract, while the companies have been offering jut 20 percent. Hundreds of thousands of workers in various sectors have walked off their jobs this year, ranging from Hollywood scriptwriters and actors to nurses, hotel staff and pilots. Income inequality amid soaring prices has been cited as the main reason.
