Israeli officials received “dozens of reports” on Tuesday night of rock-throwing and firebomb (Molotov cocktail) attacks on Jews in Judea and Samaria following a funeral for three members of a terror cell killed earlier in the day by an Israeli special forces team.
Rioters burned tires and hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails at the entrance to the Palestinian Authority city of Shechem, where the terrorists were killed.
A mob of at least 100 rock-throwing rioters with Palestinian Authority flags blocked the highway with burning tires on Route 55 between Fondok and the Jewish community of Kedumim in Samaria, according to the 0404 news outlet.
The rioters attacked Israeli-licensed vehicles traveling on the artery. At least one Israeli bus was damaged after it came under a hail of rocks. There was no information on whether anyone was physically hurt in the attack.
Traffic on Highway 60 was also blocked with burning tires near the Palestinian Authority town of Huwara, where vehicles with Israeli license plates were also attacked with rocks. At least one vehicle was damaged in the attack.
Arab rioters also burned tires and hurled rocks at Israeli travelers on the road between the Arab village of Bidiya and the Jewish community of Kiryat Netafim in Samaria, Hatzalah Without Borders reported.
Farther south, in Judea, Arab terrorists attacked an Israeli bus with rocks as it was traveling on the road between the Arab towns of El Arroub and Beit Ummar on Highway 60, also known in that area as the Gush Etzion-Hebron Highway. The windshield of the bus was smashed in the attack.
