A Palestinian young man was killed, on Thursday morning, after being rammed by a car driver by an illegal Israeli colonist, while heading to his work in the occupied Palestinian capital, Jerusalem, in the West Bank.
The victim, Mustafa Yassin Falna, 25, was from Safa village, west of Ramallah, in the central part of the occupied West Bank.
Mustafa, a married father of an 18-month-old baby, was crossing the street while on his way to work when he was killed, his family said.
The incident took place approximately at six in the morning, on Road #443 near Maccabim roadblock, about thirty kilometers west of Jerusalem.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a statement that “This situation confirms not only the racism of the occupying state in dealing with the Palestinians but also the absolute disregard for their lives as if they have no value.”
It added, “We consider such incidents, which have become a phenomenon that is repeatedly occurring without any real investigation of follow-up by the occupation police or the army, as crimes, whether intentional and deliberate or by negligence and indifference shown by the occupying police, even if they are ordinary traffic accidents involving a Palestinian.”
On Thursday at dawn, the soldiers shot dead a Palestinian man, identified as, Bakeer Mohammad Hashash, 21, with live rounds near the Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, in the northern occupied West Bank.
“This situation confirms not only the racist nature of the occupying state in dealing with the Palestinians but also the outrageous disregard for Palestinian lives, as if they have no value,” The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said in a statement.
