The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Wednesday afternoon arrested a number of Palestinian workers near a separation wall gate in Qaffin village north of the West Bank city of Tulkarem.
Local sources told the PIC reporter that the IOF arrested six Palestinian workers while they were attempting to enter the Palestinian territories occupied since 1948 through a gate in the separation wall.
This came a few hours after a Palestinian workman was shot and injured by IOF soldiers in the same place the local sources added.
The detainees were transferred to a nearby Israeli military camp.
Dozens of Palestinian workmen have been shot or arrested by the IOF since the start of 2019 on their way to the 1948 occupied territories for work.
