Palestinians mourn elderly man hit by settler’s car

Thursday 9-February-2017

Dozens of Palestinians marched Wednesday evening in the funeral of the elderly man Suleiman Hammad 81 who was earlier hit and killed by a settler’s speedy car near Khader town in Bethlehem.

According to the PIC reporter the funeral set off from Beit Jala hospital towards the martyr’s house where his family bid him last farewell.

His body was then moved to the local mosque to be then buried in Shuhada cemetery.

Hammad was killed on Wednesday afternoon after an Israeli settler in a speeding car ran over him while he was crossing the street in Khader village.

This incident is not the first of its kind since many Palestinian citizens were subjected to run over attacks by Israeli settlers while crossing the main roads that link Palestinian cities. The settlers usually speed up while moving on Palestinian lands to reach settlements illegally built on those lands.
