Israeli forces have released an extremist settler who ran over three Palestinian children in Silwan town in Al-Quds (Jerusalem) earlier on Friday. The local police had opened an investigation with him, using media pictures of the accident, Israel Radio said. It said the settler had escaped the accident scene, after he was recognized by a group of Palestinian youth who started to throw him with stones. The Israeli settler is the head of a radical right-wing Jewish society, KUNA reported.
