JENIN (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian man from Jenin was critically injured late Friday after unidentified assailants set fire to his body in the village of Tamra in northeastern Israel.

Palestinian security sources told Ma'an that Mahmoud Kamel Qalalweh, 23, from the al-Jadida village in southern Jenin, was critically injured after unidentified assailants "deliberately" set him to fire, causing injuries all over his body.

Sources added that an investigation into the incident had been opened.

About 30,000 Palestinians from the West Bank have permits to work inside Israel, while another 30,000 work without permits.
