    HEBRON (Ma’an) — A Palestinian boy from Hebron died on Monday evening from injuries sustained in a hit-and-run accident on Friday.

    Farid Jaber, 8, was critically injured when a settler car ran him over in the village of al-Baqaa village near the army-controlled H2 area of Hebron, a Ma’an reporter said.

    Israeli forces summoned an ambulance and evacuated the child to a hospital inside the Kiryat Arba settlement. An army spokeswoman said this report fitted with her understanding of events.

    Jaber’s grandfather told Ma’an the incident was deliberate and not a car accident. He said the Israeli army had prevented the Palestinian Red Crescent from attending to the child.

    Locals said that youths clashed with troops after the incident. The army spokeswoman said she did not have reports of clashes, but two Palestinians were detained for pushing a police officer following the incident.
