A Palestinian worker died on Sunday morning after an IOF patrol chased him and other workers while attempting to infiltrate into 1948 occupied Palestine seeking work.
Munther Nazal, the director of ambulance and emergency in Qalqilia, said that an ambulance team reached Azzun-Atma village to the south of Qalqilia and tried to resuscitate the worker who suffered cardiac arrest but to no avail.
Nazzal said that Thaer Abu Shalluf, 34, was from Qalqilia city, adding that no reason was yet known for his condition and whether it was the result of exhaustion and fear due to the IOF pursuit.
Local sources in Qalqilia city blamed the IOF chase for the death of Abu Shalluf.
