NABLUS, (PIC)-- A Jewish settler crashed his vehicle into a 20-year-old Palestinian native of the West Bank village of Furoush Bayt Dajan in the second hit-and-run incident involving a Jewish settler in the last 24 hours.
The collision occurred as Nasser Mahmoud Abul-Kubbash was crossing the main road near the village, located 10 km east of Nablus.
The victim has been admitted to Rafidya hospital in Nablus where his wounds were described as moderate.
In another incident near Nablus a settler travelling in a speeding car threw objects at two Palestinian high school children on their way to school injuring them.


The two children, Rajeh Hejazi and Mahmoud Hejazi, were on their way to Saweya secondary school to the south of Nablus when the attack took place.


Rajeh had neck and foot injuries, while Mahmoud had a back injury. Both were taken to Rafidya hospital.


On Monday two nursing students at the Ibn Sina college in Hawwara, south of Nablus, were injured in a hit and run incident by a Jewish settler and were hospitalised as a result.


An official report quoted by Quds Press today stated that there were 33 cases of deliberate vehicular attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank since the start of 2011.
In September alone there were 14 such attacks, as settlers pledged to escalate their attacks against Palestinian civilians to coincide with the PA bid for statehood. This is not to count other forms of settler attacks such as burning mosques, attacking Palestinian homes and burning and uprooting olive trees.
