8 Jews wounded in 'Palestinian' rock attack

Eight Jews returning from the Sabbath in Hebron were injured in a rock attack on their vehicles on Saturday night.

Eight people suffered light injuries Saturday evening when they drove into an Arab rock ambush near Al Fawar in the Mount Hevron areas.

They were taken to Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva. Voice of Israel public radio said that the rocks struck a bus and a car.

Last Tuesday, five people were lightly injured in a large scale rock ambush by Arab attackers near Jerusalem. In that incident, dozens of Arabs hurled rocks at cars on the Tekoa – Har Homa road south of the capital.

One of the victims, Rabbi Kfir Getz, spoke to Arutz Sheva as he was taken to hospital. He told of the "murderous hate" in his attackers’ eyes, and said that only a miracle saved him from further harm.

That attack triggered protests by Jewish activists yesterday at the Beit Sahour junction near Jerusalem.

But keep taking away those roadblocks and reducing IDF presence in Judea and Samaria guys.... We'll (God forbid) get someone killed eventually.
