On Sunday when the Israeli army attacked workers near the occupied West Bank city of Tulkaremk, with a Palestinian employee passed away after smothering from tear gas.
50-year-old Fouad Joudeh from the city of Nabulus together with other employees were attempting to pass through a departure fence in the village of Faroun to reach their jobs in Jaffa.
Israeli officials have banned workers from getting into lands occupied since 1948 without an entry license.
The dead worker tried to reach his workplace after at least 20-day unemployment period since Israel declared a new nationwide lockdown as a protecting measure to halt the spread of COVID-19.
