Perera, 47, tried to enter Israel after arriving in Jordan on a visitor visa.<\/p>\n
His relative Edison, a resident of Menamkulam, also tried to cross into Israel and was shot but survived. He was repatriated to India after receiving treatment.<\/p>\n
The incident came amid soaring violence in the West Bank and against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war.<\/p>\n
