Fifteen people were injured Sunday in a car accident west of Bethlehem, medical officials said. Abdul Halim al-Jaafra, head of emergency services in Bethlehem, told Ma\'an that 15 workers were injured when a minibus flipped over near the Bitar crossing. He said Israel\'s Magen David Adom emergency service alerted Palestinian medics, who arrived in seven ambulances and transferred the injured to hospitals in Bethlehem. Israeli medics refused to take the victims to Israeli hospitals because they said they had been working in Israel without permits, al-Jaffra added.
