the building they were occupying. The Health ministry also said that two journalists were lightly injured by live fire. Aftermath The Biden administration joined a growing number of governments condemning what the IDF said was a counter-terrorism operation and the Palestinian Authority again called on the United Nations Security Council to act. A general strike the next day was declared in the West Bank to mourn the victims of what the Palestinians describe as a massacre. Subsequently, six rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip and Israel responded with air raids on Gaza. Many countries issued statements condemning the incursion and others expressing concern about the violence, including Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Germany, Iran, Lebanon, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, the UAE, and Yemen.
