- Court cited lack of evidence linking shooting to work.
- Previous dismissal in August 2023 was upheld.
The Tel Aviv Labor Court has rejected a lawsuit filed by an air conditioner installation technician seeking work injury benefits. The technician had claimed he was injured approximately four years ago by a shooting incident that occurred at the entrance to his home. He argued in his court filing that the shooting happened while he was unloading work equipment from his car after completing a job.
The court had previously dismissed the case in August 2023 and has now rejected it again. Media sources reported that the court found it difficult to establish evidence proving the shooting occurred during the time the claimant was actively performing his work duties. The court's decision hinged on the lack of conclusive proof linking the incident directly to his employment.
