  • Israeli military jeep runs over, injures Palestinian child in occupied West Bank

A Palestinian child has sustained serious injuries after an Israeli military jeep ran him over in an apparent hit-and-run incident in the northern part of the West Bank.

The Palestinian Information Center, citing local sources, said the incident took place in Zububa village, west of Jenin in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday evening.

Witnesses said the 13-year-old Obeida al-Wahsh was riding his bicycle when he was struck by the Israeli military jeep in the troubled area.

The injured child was rushed to a nearby hospital to get revival assistance and other necessary treatment.

The incident comes a day after a young worker from Tubas city was martyred and five others wounded when an Israeli jeep rammed into a vehicle carrying Palestinians in the northern Jordan Valley.

There have been scores of similar incidents across the West Bank, some of which have resulted in fatalities. Most of the cases go uninvestigated by Zionist regime authorities.
