October 15, 2018 16:34Israeli police have launched an investigation into the death of a Palestinian woman in the West Bank on the assumption that the stones that killed her were thrown by Jewish settlers.
Aisha Mohammed Rabi, 47, was killed near the Tapuach Junction, south of Nablus, when a stone thrown from the side of the road hit her head after smashing through the car window.
Her husband, who was driving, told local media that he saw six or seven youngsters throwing the stones and that they were in an area controlled by nearby settlements.
Three days later, the assailants’ identities were still not clear. The investigation is currently being carried out by the police’s “Nationalist Crime” section — which deals with Jewish terror attacks — and by the Shin Bet security service.
