Israeli settler runs over, injures pregnant Palestinian woman
‘An Israeli settler has reportedly run over and injured a pregnant Palestinian woman in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.
Local sources, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the 28-year-old victim, identified as Abeer Bassam Joubarah, was walking along the main road next to al-Arroub refugee camp, located 15 kilometers south of Bethlehem, on Sunday morning when she was struck by a settler’s vehicle, Arabic-language Safa news network reported.
Palestinian medics quickly rushed to the scene and provided the injured woman with first aid treatment before transferring her to al-Mezan hospital in the southern occupied West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron), where doctors described the Palestinian woman’s injuries as moderate.
The incident happened only two days after Palestinian security sources said a 37-year-old Palestinian man, identified as Omar Ahmad Issa, was run over in the town of al-Khader, located 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) west of Bethlehem, at around 4 a.m. local time (0100 GMT), while riding his motorcycle near a checkpoint leading to the occupied East Jerusalem al-Quds.’
