Medical sources have confirmed, on Wednesday evening, that a Palestinian man died after being rammed by a speeding Israeli colonialist settler’s car near Salfit, in northwestern West Bank.
The sources said the man, Azzam Jamil Amer , from Kafr Qalil village, south of the northern West Bank city of Nablus was struck by the Israeli colonists’ car, before he was moved to an Israeli hospital where he succumbed to his serious wounds.
The Israeli police said it opened an investigation to determine whether the incident was a traffic accident or a deliberate attack.
Salfit Governor Abdullah Kamil said the Israeli colonist deliberately targeted the young man at the junction of Kifl Hares.

Kamil held Israel responsible for the young man’s death, adding that Israel’s colonies are illegal under International Law since they are built on occupied lands, and constitute war crimes.
The deceased husband, and father, is a day laborer who was returning home from work when the incident took place.
It is worth mentioning that many Palestinians, including children, have been killed, and dozens injured, in similar incidents across the occupied West Bank.
