Palestinian Child Killed By An Israeli Settler

A Palestinian child was announced dead after an Israeli settler in Hebron city in the occupied West Bank last night

Local sources reported that an Israeli settler driving at high speed ran and hit the 7-year-old Tareq Dhabanya on a road near Idhna town.

Eyewitnesses said the child was driving his bicycle on a road near where he lives when a settler from a nearby settlement rammed his car into him and escaped the scene.

The incident happened on Monday night and the child was pronounced dead at an early hour on Tuesday.

Last year, 43 car-ramming incidents were carried out by Jewish settlers against Palestinian citizens on roads in the West Bank and Jerusalem. They led to the death of four citizens and the injury of 33 others.
