An elderly Palestinian woman was killed and her daughter wounded when
they were hit by a car allegedly driven by an Israeli settler in the
eastern West Bank district of Jericho Tuesday night, according to the
Palestinian Authority's official news agency Wafa.
It was
not initially clear whether the incident was an attack or accident, and
Wafa's report that the car was driven by an Israeli settler could not
initially be verified.Wafa identified the deceased woman
as 60-year-old Zainab Rashida and her injured daughter as Fatima Abdul
Yassin, 30, saying they were both taken to Jericho Hospital. A
Palestinian police spokesperson confirmed one death and another injury
from a car incident in the area, but was unable to provide further
details. An Israeli army spokesperson also confirmed an
incident, but said it fell under Israeli police jurisdiction. An Israeli
police spokesperson, meanwhile, had no immediate information on the
reports.
