Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Sunday chased and attacked dozens of Palestinian citizens with tear gas canisters in al-Khalil as they were trying to enter the Palestinian territories occupied since 1948 for work through a separation wall gate.
Local sources said that a number of Palestinian workmen suffered breathing difficulties as a result of inhaling tear gas.
Since it is almost impossible to get Israeli work permits and due to the lack of job opportunities in the occupied West Bank hundreds of Palestinians seek work in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1948 which they enter through gates and holes they make in the separation wall.
Dozens of Palestinian workmen have been arrested injured or shot dead by the IOF during those tough journeys.
