Israeli motorist kills Palestinian in disputed W. Bank incident An Israeli motorist ran over and killed an elderly Palestinian man Wednesday near the West Bank city of Nablus, in an incident that Palestinian witnesses called deliberate and Israeli police said was an apparent accident. Palestinian witnesses said the driver of the car, a Jewish settler, had intentionally hit 75-year-old Ibrahim Moussa Hanani. Israel police said an initial investigation showed it was an accident. Loudspeakers from the mosques in Hanani's village Beit Forik declared him a martyr of the intifada. Riad Muslih, 33, said Hanani was crossing a road with four Palestinian laborers on their way to work in Nablus when a speeding Israeli car veered and hit the elderly man, who had already reached the shoulder. "I watched the body of the old man fly over the car and land behind it," Muslih said. "It was intentional." An Israeli police spokeswoman said the preliminary investigation showed Hanani was still in the middle of the road when the vehicle hit him. She said police took the motorist into custody for questioning. "At this stage, it was apparently a road accident. There are no signs of it being intentional," the spokeswoman said. "An Israeli car was driving and an elderly pedestrian crossed the road. The car hit him and killed him. The car is in the same place. He didn't continue driving," she added.
