An illegal Israeli settler ran over a five-year-old Palestinian boy near West Bank city of Tulkarem on Friday.
Palestinian medical sources reported that a 5-year old boy was admitted to hospital for treatment of moderate injuries.
Witnesses said that an Israeli settler saw the Israeli settler approached the Palestinian boy Yamen Mahmoud, 5, by his car in Shufa village, in the suburbs of Tulkarem, south of the occupied West Bank city.
According to the witnesses, the settler deliberately hit the boy as he was walking at the side of the road.
“The settler ran over the child and fled away with his car,” an eyewitness told.
In December, a 10-year-old Palestinian boy was injured after an Israeli settler ran over him on the main road of the Palestinian village of Taqu, south-east of Bethlehem.
Months earlier, a settler ran over two Palestinian children as they walked near the West Bank city of Ramallah, killing 5-year-old Einas Khalil.
