Enas was instantly killed and Tulin sustained a very serious injury and is now struggling with a life-long disability.
Israeli police usually treat such attacks as accidents, even in cases when witnesses claim the ramming attacks were deliberate.

Settler violence against Palestinians and their property is routine in the West Bank and is rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities.
There are over 600,000 Israeli settlers living in colonial settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
