An IDF soldier was in critical condition on Thursday after a Palestinian threw a heavy object at his head.

He was taken to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center after troops attempting to arrest terror suspects in the Palestinian Authority-controlled al-Amari refugee camp north of Ramallah came under attack, at which time a large rock or cinder block was hurled at the soldiers.

The incident was censored by the military until his family could be notified several hours later.

The suspect faces assault, menacing, aggravated harassment and weapons charges, an NYPD spokesperson told JNS.
Counterterrorism raids launched in over 400 locations throughout Judea and Samaria.
“Attacks on Christians continue to escalate worldwide and must be stopped,” U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz wrote.
Michael Trager told JNS that he feels ignored by city leaders after his wife, 71, was killed as they crossed a street together on their way home from a date night dinner.
