A Zionist female settler ran over a Palestinian youth on Thursday morning near West Bank city of Salfit, the Palestine Days news website reported.

Witnesses said that the Zionist settlers approached the youth while he was walking on the platform of the main street in the city.

"She hit him and ran away," an eyewitness said.

Palestinian medical sources said that the man identified as Ahmad Sultan, 22, was evacuated to Angelical Hospital in Nablus by a Palestinian ambulance.

The youth is suffering moderate conditions, the Palestinian medical sources said, as he had his leg broken, face bruises and internal bleeding.

The Zionist police claimed it would open investigation into the incident, but the family of the youth doubted the Zionist intention to achieve justice in the case.

"Based on many previous cases, the remarks about opening investigations into similar incidents just were made to hung on," the mother of the youth said.
