The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said in a statement that its crews transported to the hospital "two young men who were shot with live ammunition while trying to cross the apartheid wall in the town of Al-Ram."
In a subsequent statement, it reported that its crews transported to the hospital "a 42-year-old man with a live bullet wound to the leg while attempting to cross the apartheid wall in the town of Al-Ram."
Almost daily, Palestinians are injured near the separation wall surrounding Jerusalem and along the border between the West Bank and Israel, as Palestinians, mostly workers, attempt to cross it in search of work inside Israel, which occupies their land.
According to data from the General Union of Palestinian Workers, 44 Palestinian workers were killed by Israeli occupation army bullets, and more than 32,000 others were arrested, either inside workplaces or while trying to find work, from the start of the war of extermination until October 28th.
Since the start of the war of extermination on Gaza in October 2023, Israel has been preventing Palestinian workers from returning to their workplaces, so some of them resort to climbing the separation wall despite the risks involved.
Jerusalem is surrounded by a wall of cement and barbed wire, most of which was built on West Bank land, with a height exceeding 8 meters and a length of about 202 kilometers, according to the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem.
While Israel claims it built it for security reasons, Palestinians and the United Nations assert that its construction was part of a plan to annex Palestinian territories to Israel.
In 2004, the International Court of Justice in The Hague issued an advisory opinion declaring the wall illegal because it was built on occupied Palestinian territory.
