Rock-throwing terrorist injures child last month
Last month, a 5-year-old child was wounded by shards of glass after a terrorist threw rocks towards vehicles on Highway 60, shattering the windshield of his car.
The IDF initiated a search of the Madama area in the West Bank, where the incident occured, to locate the terrorist responsible.
