HEBRON (Ma’an) — A disabled child was hit by a settler car on Thursday near the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron, medics said.

Head of the Red Crescent emergency ward in Hebron told Ma’an that Hiba Abdul Ghaffar, 13, was heading to school when she was hit by the car.

Ghaffar, who is in a wheelchair, suffered light injuries in the collision and was taken to hospital for treatment.

Around 800 Jewish settlers live among 30,000 Palestinians in the parts of the ancient city that are under Israeli control.

Reports of physical violence by settlers against Palestinians is common place in Hebron, which is a microcosm of the occupied West Bank where Palestinians have self-rule over islands of territory surrounded by areas of Israeli control.

Israeli human rights group BT’selem says there is a “systematic failure” to protect Palestinians from settler attacks in Hebron, with Israeli soldiers often witnessing violent assaults without intervening.

Routine settler abuse of the Palestinian community in Hebron includes physical assault, stone throwing, throwing waste water, and gunfire.
