Palestinian brothers M and M M, from occupied Jerusalem, died after being deliberately run over by an Israeli settler near the Za'tara checkpoint, south of Nablus.

They were repairing their car before being run over.

Two Palestinian brothers have been killed after an Israeli settler ran them over with his car near a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank, according to the Wafa news agency.

The two brothers, M and M M, were “deliberately” run over at the Zaatara checkpoint, south of Nablus, the official Palestinian news agency said on Saturday.

In a press statement, the director of the Jerusalem Governorate office in Qalandiya, Zakaria Fayala, said M’s body was transferred to a hospital in Nablus, while M was transferred to Hadassah Hospital before his death was announced.

According to Fayala, the two brothers were travelling with three other siblings, running errands for their sister’s wedding next Friday, when their car broke down. They pulled over to fix one of the tires, before the settler’s speeding car “deliberately” ran into the group, resulting in the immediate death of M.

The settler then fled the scene, Fayala said.

M’s feet had been amputated by the car and he passed away not long after reaching Hadassa Hospital in critical condition, according to the Maan news agency.



Qalandiya, where the brothers lived, has announced a general strike for Sunday.

A spokesman for Fatah, the largest faction in the Palestine Liberation Organization, described the incident as “a new heinous crime committed by fascism”.

“The Israeli occupation is determined to commit crimes, and our people are determined to respond and defend themselves,” Munther al-Hayek said in a statement.

Last month, two other brothers, J and D R, were killed by Israeli forces after a raid in their neighbouring village.

According to the United Nations, 2022 has been the deadliest year for Palestinians since 2006.

Israeli military raids and killings in Palestinian cities and villages are taking place on a near-daily basis, in parallel with a rise in Palestinian armed attacks, as well as an increase in Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians.

deliberately

How do you know it was deliberately done??

[akyan]

Terrorist attacks on a bus are very common in Isreal..... sooo the bus driver could have easily ran them over to protect himself and his passengers.

The choice of language is obviously bias, calling it the "occupied Jerusalem".

The news reports stated it was deliberate. I put the quote as a quote so people could see it was a 'quote'... not my words. It was the information that came with the video.

I have managed to find an English news report now and updated the post.
