HEBRON,
October 20, 2015 (WAFA) – An Israeli settler Tuesday died after being run over
as he went on an attack spree against Palestinian cars driving along al-Fawwar
junction to the south of Hebron.
WAFA
reported witnesses as saying that an Israeli settler was seen going on a
smashing spree using a club, stopping and smashing the windows of Palestinian
registered vehicles – who had children on board - driving along al-Fawwar
junction.
Witnesses
were also reported as saying that the settler was also was seen moving to the
nearby bypass road 60, where he continued to stop and smash the glass of
Palestinian vehicles travelling along the road.
As
the settler was going on his car smashing spree, he was run over by a
Palestinian registered truck.
Witnesses were reported in local Palestinian
media as saying that as the settler went on his car smashing spree on Road 60,
he stopped and attempted to board the truck and assault the driver. As the
driver attempted to evade the settlers’ attack, he accidently ran him over.
Local
media reported Israeli paramedics as saying that the settler was “killed” as he
was run over by a car in an accident that may have followed stone-throwing in
the area.
Israeli
media reported that the settler was hit by a
truck as he inspected the damage to his own car caused after he was pelted with
rocks by Palestinians near al-Fawwar junction.
Israeli paramedics attempted to resuscitate the
settler, in his 50s, but he died at the scene.
Israeli media said that it was not clear if the
second vehicle was deliberately driven toward the settler or not.
The Palestinian driver reportedly turned
himself over to a Palestinian police station in the nearby town of
Adh-Dhahiriya, southwest of Hebron, saying it was an accident.
