Despite the endless list of crimes Israelis have committed against the Palestinian people, the latter’s humanity remains intact.

In a video released by Ramallah News, several Palestinian men are seen risking their lives to save Israeli families from a deadly car accident.

“Young Palestinian men saved the children of [Israeli] settlers yesterday in Hebron after their vehicle flipped over in a car accident,” the video is captioned.

The horrific accident that involved two Israeli families took place in the Palestinian city of Hebron, which is located in the southern West Bank and is known for having the most violent groups of Israeli settler militias.

The videos shared by Ramallah News and IKnowBroNews show a car with an Israeli license plate turned over on its side, with Arabic-speaking men rushing over to rescue those trapped inside the vehicle.

“He has young children in the car! He has young children in the car! Go check the other car! Guys! Call the ambulance! Hurry,” the man taking the IKnowBroNews video is heard yelling in Arabic.

More Palestinians gathered around the cars to help out, risking their lives as petrol leaked from the vehicles.

The men first rescued a toddler who was trapped inside the upturned car, bleeding and crying.

The Palestinians then provided basic medical care while waiting for a Palestinian ambulance to arrive.

It remains unclear how severely the toddler was injured and what other casualties the accident has left.

Palestinians just taught occupiers a lesson in humanity

“The side of the conflict the media doesn’t show”

We can’t help but wonder what would have happened had the roles been reversed

This is definitely not the first time Palestinians rescue Israelis

“This is not the first time that Palestinians have assisted Israeli settlers who have had car accidents while speeding through Palestinian land on their way to armed enclaves constructed on stolen Palestinian land,” states IMEMC (International Middle East Media Center).

Palestinians often challenge the oppression and lend a helping hand to Israeli citizens.

For instance, earlier this year, a Palestinian family rushed out in the pouring rain to assist Israelis injured in a bus crash near a West Bank settlement.
