I’m not sure this technically qualifies as a Palestinian Work Accident, since the person involved was Iranian, not Palestinian. But he was protesting during Al Quds Day, calling for the destruction of Israel as part of a pro-Palestinian “Death to Israel” event.
Regardless, he joins a long line of people who have “accidentally” hurt or killed themselves while trying to do violence against Israel.
The Jerusalem Post reports:
A video of a man in Iran ironically catching fire after attempting to burn an Israeli flag circulated on Arab social media on Sunday.The video shows the man lifting a burning Israeli flag and attempting to wave it, before a sudden burst of wind causes the fire to quickly spread down the pole and to his clothes. The man responds by dropping the flag and running frantically – hopefully to a nearby pool.According to Arab media that shared the video, the incident took place during a Quds Day protest held in Iran. Other people on the scene can be seen holding Palestinian flags.
