| [IsraelTimes] Security forces come under fire, are targeted by stones and Molotov cocktails in Jerusalem and West Bank; no injuries Two Israeli women were maimed Thursday night in separate stone-throwing attacks on their cars. A woman was lightly hurt when stones were thrown at her car on Route 60, near the Karmei Tzur settlement, north of the West Bank city of Hebron. The woman, who is pregnant and was cut by glass shards, was taken by Magen David Adom rescue personnel to Shaare Zedek hospital in Jerusalem. Hours earlier, a woman in her 60s was lightly maimed in a stone-throwing attack on her car on Route 431, close to the central town of Ramle. Magen David Adom paramedics administered first aid treatment at the scene before evacuating the woman to Assaf Harofeh hospital near Rishon Letzion, the Maariv website reported. She sustained wounds to her face from the stones and from shattered glass. The woman was travelling with her 8-month-old grandson at the time. The child was unhurt in the incident. Shots were fired from a vehicle Thursday evening at IDF soldiers standing at a hitchhiking post close to the settlement of Ofra in the northern West Bank. There were no injuries. The car from which the shots were fired expeditiously departed at a goodly pace, the Maariv website said, adding that security forces were searching for the vehicle. Also Thursday evening, a pipe bomb was hurled at a Border Police position in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of A-Tur, and two bombs were thrown at a Border Police force near the West Bank city of Bethlehem. No injuries were reported in either incident, the Walla news website said. An bomb was also hurled at an IDF post near the Jewish cemetery in the West Bank city of Hebron. Near the Judea Regional Brigade, Paleostinians threw a Molotov cocktail at an Israeli vehicle, Israel Radio reported. Paleostinians also hurled stones at vehicles both south and north of the Etzion settlement bloc. No damage or injuries were reported in any of the incidents, according to Walla. |
