At approximately 7:30 am on Monday 7 April 2014, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) opened fire and launched tear gas canisters at a group of Palestinians who were collecting rubble and gravel near the borders in the west of Erez Crossing.
No injuries were reported.
According to Al Mezan’s field investigations, rubble and scrap collectors move closer to the separation fence in order to collect greater amount of rubble to be recycled and sold again.
This is the main source of income for rubble collectors due to severe economic situation.
