Hawzah News Agency-According to the Palestinian Information Center, the incident took place near the Qalqilya city in the northern part of the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society identified the victims as a Palestinian mother and father and their son.

There have been scores of “hit and run” incidents targeting Palestinians in different parts of the occupied West Bank. The incidents have largely gone uninvestigated by Israeli authorities even as some of them have resulted in fatalities.

On September 10, an Israeli settler ran over and killed a six-year-old Palestinian girl on a road leading to an illegal settlement in the southern part of the occupied West Bank.

Over half a million Israelis live in more than 230 illegal settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories.

All Israeli settlements are illegal under international law but Tel Aviv is defying calls to stop their settlement expansions.

End.
