RAMALLAH: A Palestinian worker was shot dead by Israeli forces on Sunday while crossing a security hedge in the enthralled West Bank, Palestinian sources said.
The Palestinian health ministry linked the man killed as Nabil Ghanem, 53, from the West Bank megacity of Nablus.
The sanctioned Palestinian news agency Wafa said Ghanem was among the knockouts of thousands of West Bank Palestinians who regularly seek work in Israel.
An Israeli army prophet said forces had shot at “ a suspect who vandalised the security hedge ”.
stipend on Israeli granges and construction spots are far advanced than what utmost Palestinian employers can pay in the West Bank, a home enthralled by Israeli since 1967.
Jobs inside Israel are largely coveted by numerous Palestinians. Some have permits to work in Israel while others seek to cross without authorisation.
Ghanem’s payoff comes amid a shaft in Israeli- Palestinian violence.
Nineteen people, substantially Israeli civilians including 18 inside Israel and a Jewish settler have been killed in attacks since late March.
Israeli security forces have responded with raids inside Israel and in the West Bank, particularly in and around Jenin. Three bushwhackers and an Israeli police troop have been killed.
Forty- five Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, including an Al Jazeera intelligencer who was covering a raid in Jenin.
Pressures have lately burned again since three Palestinians were killed on Friday by Israeli forces during a raid in Jenin.
