Three Israelis were injured Thursday in two separate incidents in which
Palestinians threw rocks at their vehicles in the West Bank.
In the
pre-dawn hours, an Israeli was injured near Bethlehem and his vehicle was
damaged.
Later in the day, two Israelis were lightly injured by rockets
between the Efrat settlement and the city of Hebron.
Separately, in the
Binyamin Region, residents of the Esh Kodesh outpost near the Shiloh settlement
reported that Palestinians tried to cut the fence to their vineyards.
The
incident is part of an ongoing battle between settlers and Palestinians over
farmland in that area.
"We were making a snow man and taking a beautiful
picture in the snow," said Esh Kodesh resident Aron Katsof.
All of a
sudden, he said, one of the women started to yell.
"We saw 100 Arabs
trying to push over the fence to the vineyard," Katsof said.
He added
that security forces responded and dispersed the Palestinians using tear gas.
