A Palestinian young man suffered a bullet injury on Sunday evening when the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) opened fire at him near the separation wall in the town of al‑Ram, north of Jerusalem.
The Red Crescent said that its paramedics administered first aid to a young man who was shot in the leg with live ammunition near the al‑Ram wall before transferring him to the hospital for medical assistance.
This was the second such incident near the separation wall in the town on the same day, as another Palestinian worker was shot in the thigh by Israeli forces at dawn while attempting to reach his workplace in the holy city.
Many Palestinians from the West Bank try to enter Israel every day for work, and have no choice but to risk entering without permits.
The Israeli occupation regime prevents the development of an independent Palestinian economy by restricting imports, exports, industrial development and movement, and by taking over land reserves and other Palestinian resources. This leaves Palestinians with no possibility of making a substantial living within the West Bank.
