HEBRON (Ma'an) -- A man was wounded on Saturday while running away from an Israeli border patrol unit south of Hebron, Israeli sources said.

The man, from Hebron, was trying to cross into Israel from the West Bank and did not have a permit, the sources said.

While trying to cross, the man noticed an Israeli military patrol and fled the area, falling down from a gap of 1.5 meters and causing serious injuries.

The unidentified man was evacuated to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba.
