In an apparent hit-and-run assault in a West Bank town, an Israel settler has run over a Palestinian woman and her child.

The Sunday evening incident took place when the duo was crossing the main road in Huwara, south of Nablus.

Witnesses said Israeli soldiers showed up and escorted the settler away from the scene.

The injured mother and child were rushed to a nearby hospital.

There have been scores of similar incidents across the West Bank. Most of the cases go uninvestigated by Israeli authorities. Some of such events have resulted in fatalities.

Early December two Palestinian workers lost their lives after they were struck by a bus near an Israeli military checkpoint at the northern entrance to the city of Bethlehem, about 10 kilometers south of Jerusalem al-Quds.
