An Israeli bus driver killed two Palestinian workers this morning in an apparent hit-and-run incident in the occupied West Bank, reported Wafa news agency.
Palestinian security sources said the workers were struck by a bus, which had been empty of passengers, near a military checkpoint known as 300, located at the northern entrance to the occupied city of Bethlehem.
Thousands of Palestinians from the southern occupied West Bank must cross this barrier to work in occupied East Jerusalem.
The checkpoint was built more than a decade ago as part of Israel’s Separation Wall, deemed illegal by the International Court of Justice in 2004.
The two young men killed were identified as 29-year-old Ziad Ali Hussein Abiyat, who was trapped beneath the bus, and 30-year-old Jaafar Omar Abaya.
