Suleiman Salaah, 81, suffered very serious wounds, while the colonist who struck him fled the scene, leaving his car behind, on Road #60. Salah was riding his donkey when the car struck them.
Palestinian Red Crescent medics were called to the scene, and moved Suleiman to a hospital, suffering fatal injuries. He died from his wounds shortly after being admitted to the Emergency Unit.
The elderly man’s right leg was completely amputated below the knee, and he also suffered numerous serious wounds to several parts of his body.
Elsewhere, Israeli soldiers abducted, overnight and at dawn Wednesday, fifteen Palestinians in different parts of the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, after invading their homes and violently searching them.
Moreover, Israeli soldiers invaded, on Wednesday morning, Beit Hanina neighborhood, north of occupied East Jerusalem, and demolished an under-construction residential building, under the allegation of being built without a permit.
