Palestinian injured as Israeli settlers run over him in Nablus

A young Palestinian man was seriously injured after being run over by Israeli settlers in Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, early on Friday, Palestinian media reported.

The attack reportedly broke the man's legs, and he was taken to hospital in moderate to stable condition.

The Israeli military said a group of Israeli citizens had “intentionally entered” the city without permission.

The settlers ran over the Palestinian, fled on foot, and were later arrested and handed over to the Israel Police, according to the Israeli army which said that entry of Israeli citizens into Area A of the occupied West Bank is “dangerous and prohibited by law.”
