Israeli Wounded in Second Rock-Throwing Attack with Casualties in 24 Hours
The vehicle contained four occupants, including two children, when it was targeted by the terrorist near Evyatar in Samaria.
An Israeli woman was lightly wounded on Tuesday night when an Arab terrorist targeted her family’s vehicle with a rock in central Samaria in the second such incident in 24 hours, the Israel Defense Forces said.
“A short time ago, a terrorist threw stones at an Israeli vehicle near the community of Evyatar in the Samaria Brigade [deployment area]. As a result, an Israeli civilian was lightly injured and received medical treatment on the scene,” according to the military statement.
“Security forces began searching the area for the terrorist,” it added.
According to reports, the vehicle contained four occupants, including two children, when it was targeted. A total of five rocks were reportedly used in the attack, which also damaged two vehicles.
On Monday, an Israeli baby sustained light wounds from glass shrapnel in a rock attack on the road bypassing the Samaria town of Huwara, near Nablus. The parent continued to drive, seeking medical attention at a nearby Israeli military base.
Arab terrorists targeted Israeli Jews in Judea and Samaria at least 6,343 times in 2024, according to figures published last month by the Rescuers Without Borders (Hatzalah Judea and Samaria) NGO.
Twenty-seven Israelis were murdered in Judea and Samaria in 2024, and more than 300 others were wounded, the group said in its annual report.
The figures, which were cross-checked against official data from Israel’s security services, included 3,668 instances of rock-throwing, 843 attacks with Molotov cocktails, 671 attempts to blind drivers with laser pointers, 526 explosive charges, 364 cases of arson and 179 terrorist shootings.
The NGO also recorded 37 attempted or successful stabbings, 36 bottles of paint being thrown at vehicles and 19 Arab car-ramming attacks, including 12 that caused injuries to Israeli victims.
