Witnesses: Hebron settler runs over child

HEBRON (Ma’an) -- A young boy was injured on


Sunday after being run over by a settler car in the


Tel Rumeida neighborhood of Hebron, witnesses told Ma'an.


Mamoun al-Saheb, 9, was treated at the scene by


Israeli soldiers, before being taken to hospital.


The settler was arrested.


Tel Rumeida lies in the Israeli-military controlled H2 zone


of the southern West Bank city,after a 1997 agreement


split Hebron into areas of Palestinian and Israeli control.


The zone includes the ancient Old City, home of the revered


Ibrahimi Mosque --also split into a synagogue referred


to as the Tomb of the Patriarchs.


Around 800 Jewish settlers live in Hebron's Old City, among


30,000 Palestinians in the parts of the city that are under


Israeli control.
