BETHLEHEM (Maan) 22 Nov A prominent Israeli settler ran over a 16-year-old Palestinian girl and then shot her dead [on Sunday], saying that he believed she intended to carry out a stabbing attack at Huwarra checkpoint in the northern occupied West Bank district of Nablus, Israeli media reported.
The Palestinian military liaison office identified the teenager as Ashraqat Taha Ahmad Qatanani from Nablus, and said they had notified her family of their daughters death. Israeli news site Ynet identified the man who ran over and shot Qatanani as Gershon Mesika, the former head of the Samaria regional council, which represents Israels illegal settlements in the northern West Bank.
