Israel is preventing the family of a Palestinian mother who was killed by settlers from entering its territories for work, according to Israeli media reports quoted by the official Palestinian news agency WAFA.
The Israel Security Service 'Shin Bet' have reportedly annulled work permits for the husband and brothers of Aisha Mohammed Rabi who was killed by a stone thrown by Israeli settlers when she was inside a car.
The Palestinian mother of eight was killed earlier this month, after Israeli settlers hurled rocks at her car at a checkpoint near Nablus in the northern West Bank.
Sources at the time told The New Arab's Arabic service that Aisha, from the village of Bidya in the northern West Bank was killed and her husband injured by stones thrown at their vehicle by a group of Israeli settlers.
The Palestinian Red Crescent said that one of their teams transported Rabi, who had suffered a serious head injury, to the nearby Rafidia hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Pictures of the aftermath of the incident show the vehicle with a shattered windscreen and a large hole in the top corner where the rock hit.
Palestinians reported settlers throwing rocks at their cars along the same road in the northern the West Bank over the past few days, and said that the Israeli army, which has bulked up its presence in the area during a manhunt for a Palestinian knifeman, did not attempt to stop them.
Palestinian youths are routinely imprisoned on stone throwing charges.
Rabi’s death came just hours after seven Palestinians were killed and nearly 200 others injured in Gaza during protests marking the 29th week of the Great March of Return.
Some 800,000 settlers now live in the occupied West Bank, as Netanyahu's hard right government pushes ahead with their expansion at breakneck speed.
All Israeli settlements are seen as illegal under international law and major obstacles to peace as they are built on occupied Palestinian territory.
