Local authorities in Arab sector to strike
Local authorities in the Arab sector went on strike Sunday in protest of the death of Sami al-Ajar, a resident of Rahat who was shot dead near his house last week. Communities in the Negev shut down all public institutions, including schools.
The High Follow-Up Committee for Arab citizens of Israel declared the strike following claims from al-Ajar's family that he was shot by police. Police said that the incident is under investigation.
