No Mercy in Killing Palestinians :Israelis

Reports indicate that an Israeli settler ran over an 8-year-old Palestinian girl killing her on Saturday near the Hamra Junction on Route 90 in the occupied West Bank’s Nablus district.

The child, who was later identified as Asil Tariq Abu Oun by Palestinian medical sources, was taken to a hospital. She, however, died on the way to the medical facility.

Israel’s Haaretz reported that Israeli police detained the driver and opened an investigation to the incident. however, the victim’s family is doubtful whether the legal process will produce any substantial outcome. Recurrent former similar disasters were simply neglected by Israelis and no measure was taken against the attacker(s).

Tareq Abu Oun, the girl’s father, told Al Jazeera that the driver attempted to flee the scene after hitting the girl but that he managed to stop the car with the help of bystanders.

“The settler was armed, and they took his weapon from him until the Israeli police arrived,” the father further added.

Israeli settlers are permitted to carry weapons, while Palestinians are banned from being armed in the occupied West Bank. This is while international organizations like the Unites nations and Amnesty International recurrently condemned the expansion of occupation to the West Bank and Gaza Strip where Palestinians live.
