Israeli settler runs over Palestinian child in West Bank
An Israeli settler has run over a five-year-old Palestinian boy in the southern occupied West Bank, inflicting moderate injuries on him.
Palestinian medics identified the victim as Yamen Nabil Mahmoud, adding that the boy was struck by the car while trying to cross a road near the city of Tulkarm, located about 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) west of Nablus, on Friday.
On October 19, 2014, five-year-old Palestinian girl, Enas Khalil, died after being injured in a hit-and-run incident involving an Israeli settler near the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Khalil was one of the two girls that an Israeli settler hit with his car on the main road in the town of Sinjil near Ramallah. The second girl, identified as eight-year-old Nilin Asfour, was also badly injured in the accident.
On August 17, a Palestinian man was killed after being knocked down by an Israeli settler in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Separately, on August 7, a settler ran over and injured an eight-year-old Palestinian girl in the southern West Bank.
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 settlements built since Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, including East al-Quds, in 1967. Much of the international community considers the settlements illegal because the territories were captured by Israel in a war in 1967 and are thus subject to the Geneva Conventions, which forbid construction on occupied lands.
