An Israeli settler on Monday morning ran over a group of Palestinian schoolchildren in Qalqilya city in the northern occupied West Bank causing three of them injuries.
According to the head of Git Village Council Omar Yameen three schoolchildren aged between 10 and 11 years-old were wounded after a settler driving near the main entrance to Git’s Boys School hit them.
The three children were evacuated to the Nablus Special Hospital for urgent treatment.
An Israeli military patrol showed up at the scene moments afterwards. The Israeli driver has neither been arrested nor interrogated.
Over recent years Git Village Council has frequently launched appeals to build a pedestrian overbrigde after hit-and-run accidents by Israeli settlers have reached a peak in the area.
