Several Palestinians rescued a settler woman and her infant son Tuesday after their vehicle flipped over near a Bethlehem-area West Bank village.
One of the rescuers, Ahmad Allan, told the Palestinian Ma'an news agency that a group of Palestinian rushed to offer help after the driver, who was traveling at high speed, lost control of the vehicle.
"The car flipped three times at the center of the road," he said. "The guys at the site immediately rushed in that direction and started rescuing the passengers."
"We got the infant out of the car and next we pulled out his mother, after breaking the window," Allan said. "The mother was in shock. One of the residents called an Israeli ambulance, which arrived quickly and transferred the wounded to the hospital."
Addressing his feelings about the rescue, Allan told Ma'an he did not hesitate to offer help.
"Our human feelings were much bigger at that moment than the feelings of enmity and hatred which Israeli settlers provoke,” he said.
