An Israeli civilian was lightly wounded on Wednesday night when Palestinians hurled stones at vehicles traveling along Route 443 near the village of Beit Ur al-Tahta, west of Ramallah in Samaria, the Israel Defense Forces said.

Officers from the Judea and Samaria Police District’s Modi’in Illit station and soldiers responded to the scene.

The injured motorist was hit by glass shards and evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.

Security forces were searching for the suspects and set up roadblocks around Beit Ur al-Tahta following the attack.
