The Israeli army rammed into a vehicle carrying Haj pilgrims in the occupied West Bank’s Jenin city, Al Jazeera reports, citing the Wafa news agency.
Wafa quoted witnesses and officials as saying that the minibus, which was carrying Palestinians heading to Saudi Arabia by way of Jordan, was hit “deliberately”, causing panic among the elderly passengers.
Jenin Deputy Governor Mansour Al-Saadi confirmed that an Israeli army vehicle rammed directly into the vehicle, which was parked outside the governorate compound.
Although no injuries were reported, the minibus sustained damage, and the incident caused significant distress among the pilgrims.
