According to local sources, seven-year-old Tareq Dhabanya was martyred in a hit-and-run by a settler from the illegal settlement of Adora, reported by the Palestinian Information Center.

Eyewitnesses said the child was driving his bicycle on a road near where he lives when a settler from a nearby settlement rammed his car into him and escaped the scene.

The vehicular attack happened on Monday night and the child was pronounced dead at an early hour on Tuesday.

Last year, 43 car-ramming attacks were carried out by zionist settlers against Palestinian citizens on roads in the West Bank and Jerusalem. They led to the death of four Palestinians citizens and the injury of 33 others. (ILKHA)
