Two women injured from stone-throwing in West Bank

Two women, one of them only 18-years-old, were lightly injured on Sunday from stone-throwing near the West Bank settlements of Elon Moreh and Itamar.

They were hit while inside a car with one of the women's parents, according to the driver Moshe Cohen, who gave his account of what happened during the drive.

"While driving from Itamar to Elon Moreh, a huge stone shattered my windshield. My daughter's friend, who was resting her head on a window, was injured as that window also shattered," Cohen said. "I kept driving as I was afraid of more rocks being thrown our way," he added.

The settlements fall under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council head Yossi Dagan, who called on the government to allow the IDF to "significantly deter" the Palestinian Authority (PA).

Dagan claimed that the PA "funds and incites terrorists in the West Bank.

"Repeated stone-throwing in Shomron indicates Israel's weakened deterrence of Palestinian terrorists," he added.
