Shock follows video of settler running over Palestinian, twice

Ma'an



The video of a bystander shocked the world Tuesday, catching the actions of what appears to be a settler running over a wounded Palestinian man in a gas station in Hebron on Thursday.

The victim, an unidentified man allegedly shot several times following his reported role in a knife attack at the gas station, appeared in the video staggering, when a tan town-car ran him down, stopped, reversed and ran him over a second time.

The video was taken on Thursday, though at the time Israeli military spokespeople made no mention of the settler-attack, and only said the Palestinian man had been shot.
