BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A Palestinian worker was killed, on Tuesday, after falling from a height as he was being chased by the Israeli police in the Galilee town of Arraba, occupied by Israel in 1948.
Palestinian sources identified the worker as Muhammad Majd Kamil from the northern occupied West Bank town of Qabatiya in the Jenin district.
Kamil fell from a height as he attempted to run from the Israeli police.
Under Israel’s permit regime, Palestinian residents of the West Bank are not allowed to access occupied East Jerusalem or Israel without an Israeli-issued permit, and many risk being shot and injured while trying to cross into Israel to work.
Tens of thousands of Palestinian workers are forced to seek a living by working in Israel due to crippling unemployment in the West Bank, as the growth of an independent Palestinian economy has been stifled under the ongoing Israeli military occupation, according to rights groups.
