A Jewish settler ran over a Palestinian youth on Route 60 near the illegal Jewish settlement of Gush Etzion in the southern occupied West Bank district of Bethlehem.

Muhammad Awad, head of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), confirmed that the Palestinian youth, identified as Hamza Shihadeh Najajra, from the Nahhalin village in the Bethlehem district, was run over by a Jewish settler.
