NBC News - A nationwide strike has begun in Israel, with the country's biggest union vowing to shut down the economy in a furious push for the government to agree to a cease-fire deal after the deaths of six hostages taken during Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack.The strike is expected to bring much of Israel's economy to a grinding halt, and to shut government offices, schools and private businesses. Flights were also briefly halted from Israel's international airport this morning.
