Three Jewish settlers on Thursday evening were injured when Palestinian young men hurled stones at buses carrying them on Road 60 between the illegal settlement on Mount al-Khalil (Hebron) and Occupied Jerusalem.
Local sources told the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that one settler was injured aboard a bus traveling to Kiryat Arba settlement when it came under stone-throwing attack near Halhoul town.
Two other settlers were wounded in a similar attack at the junction of Kfar Etzion settlement near Beit Fajjar town in Bethlehem.
Palestinian young men in different areas of the occupied West Bank launched stone-throwing attacks on settlers and their vehicles in response to their illegal presence in their areas and the US recognition of Jerusalem as an Israeli capital.
US president Donald Trump’s signing of a declaration last Wednesday that claimed that Jerusalem was an Israeli capital triggered a widespread angry intifada (uprising) in Palestinian areas.
About 116 Palestinians suffered injuries in violent confrontations on Thursday with the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza and other areas of Palestine.
