On Sunday night, just after midnight, Israeli soldiers fired live rounds at Palestinian workers in the Wad Al-Hummus area, northeast of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

Media sources reported that the soldiers chased Palestinian workers in Wad Al-Hummus, near the Al-Khas and An-No’man villages, east of Bethlehem, while they were trying to reach occupied Jerusalem.

The sources added that the soldiers fired many live rounds and flares while the workers were attempting to reach Jerusalem to work and provide for their families.

It is worth mentioning that such attacks are frequent throughout several areas of the occupied West Bank, especially near military roadblocks and the dozens of gates of the illegal Annexation Wall.

On August 26, soldiers killed a Palestinian worker, Eyad Ayed Abed Najjar, 46, in the village of Janba, in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank.
