Bethlehem: A Palestinian worker died on Saturday after being chased by Israeli occupation forces in the Wadi Al-Hummus area, near the villages of Dar Salah and Sur Baher, both located between Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency – WAFA, Palestinian security sources reported that the Israeli forces pursued 55-year-old Ahmad Younis Rubay’ah as he attempted to enter Jerusalem for work.
