WATCH: Israeli settler attempts to block Palestinian ambulance in West Bank

West Bank Newly surfaced video footage from a Palestinian ambulance captures the moment an Israeli settler attempted to block its path in the occupied West Bank.

The incident occurred just moments before the Palestinian driver skillfully maneuvered past the settler’s vehicle, managing to clear the way despite the apparent obstruction.

The footage, which has circulated widely on social media, has sparked condemnation from Palestinian officials and humanitarian organizations.

In recent months, reports of settler violence and harassment against Palestinians, including attacks on medical personnel, have increased.

Palestinian Red Crescent officials have repeatedly raised concerns over ambulances being blocked or delayed, which can have life-threatening consequences for patients in need of urgent medical care.
