Israeli sources have reported, Wednesday, that the police detained a Palestinian man after he allegedly rammed an Israeli colonialist settler with his car, near occupied Jerusalem. The injured woman made the allegation that two hours after she was injured.
The sources said that the “incident appears to be hit and run”, and took place near Maale Michmash colony, southeast of occupied East Jerusalem.
They added that the woman suffered a moderate injury before she was moved to a hospital in Jerusalem.
According to the injured woman, who remained alert, a car passed her on the road near the colony, “before turning back and accelerating towards her.”
