(JNi.media) Two Jewish women were injured Wednesday morning after Arabs carried out a massive stone throwing at Israeli vehicles on the road between Tekoa and Har Homa, near Beit Sahur in Judea and Samaria, NRG reported. The two wounded women were treated at the gate of Tekoa. At least seven vehicles have been damaged by stones.
One of the injured women said that she had driven into an ambush laid by Arab terrorists, who attempted forcefully to drag her out of her car, but she said she managed to escape, after having been beaten all over her body by Arab youths. “Anyone who leaves home now, should not go that way,” she warned, “There’s not a single soldier there. I arrived at the checkpoint and screamed at them that they must send in the army. There’s nobody there.” She was taken in stable condition to the trauma department at Hadassah Medical Center on Mount Scopus, having sustained bruises all over her body.
The second female motorist, 38, was taken with light injuries to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, with a bruised head and arm resulting from stone-shattered windows.
A mother and her infant daughter were injured from stones that were thrown at their vehicle Tuesday night, near the town of Levona. The woman’s husband continued driving to the town, where they were treated by a military medical team and moved by an MDA ambulance for further treatment at Hadassah Medical Center on Mount Scopus.
During the night, three Jews were arrested for demonstrating at the spot where the little girl had been injured. The detainees were taken to the Benjamin police station and received legal advice. It is still unclear whether they would be indicted.
Meanwhile, a Border Police force in A-Tur, eastern Jerusalem, discovered 15 Molotov cocktails ready for throwing on a rooftop. The day before police seized Molotov cocktails on the roof of a neighborhood mosque. Chief Superintendent Aviad Ktefi praised the Border Police fighters, saying: “This is an important capture of Molotov cocktails which endanger our fighters.”
