A “temporary security cordon” was imposed on Madama, a Palestinian village near Nablus, as police searched for the assailant.
An Israeli child was lightly wounded by a flying glass due to a stoning in northern Samaria on Thursday, the Israel Defense Forces and medical officials confirmed.
“A short while ago, a terrorist hurled stones at vehicles driving on a central road in the area of Madama,” the military said. “As a result, an Israeli civilian was lightly injured and received medical treatment at the scene.”
Soldiers were conducting searches for the terrorist and a “temporary security cordon” was imposed on Madama, a Palestinian village near Nablus (Shechem), it added.
The Magen David Adom first response group identified the child as a five-year-old boy, saying medics treated him for light wounds from glass fragments. The attack took place on Route 60, the main north-south highway in Judea and Samaria, according to MDA.
