Perera, 47, tried to enter Israel after arriving in Jordan on a visitor visa.
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.
The incident came amid soaring violence in the West Bank and against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas war.
