JERUSALEM, January 12, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces shot and injured a Palestinian in the town of ar-Ram, north of occupied East Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent (PRCS).

It reported that the gun-toting soldiers opened fire at a man near the illegal apartheid wall, striking him in the chest with live ammunition.

The casualty was rushed to a hospital for treatment in serious condition.

Before Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, at least 390,000 Palestinians worked in Israel. But after the war, many of their work permits were "revoked". Some have continued to risk their lives for temporary work. Since October 2023, the General Federation of Palestinian Trade Unions has recorded at least 42 workers killed and 32,000 people detained by the occupation forces.

The International Court of Justice, in an Advisory Opinion in July 2004, deemed the wall illegal and called on Israel to dismantle it.
