Two Israelis suffered light injuries on Sunday when the vehicle they were traveling in was struck by a stone south of Jerusalem near the village of al-Aroub, in the Gush Etzion area.

The driver of the vehicle and a passenger were treated at the scene, Arutz Sheva reported.

Israeli soldiers raided al-Aroub last year, arresting five men who were later charged with throwing stones and firebombs at vehicles traveling along nearby Highway 60, which is used by both Jews and Arabs.

At a memorial event, U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee and Levin’s parents reflected on the Lone Soldier Center that has transformed the lives of thousands of lone soldiers from Israel and abroad.
An IDF officer was wounded in the incident.
Tehran says will attack “vital infrastructure of the Zionist regime and U.S. energy infrastructure” if the war restarts.
A Hamas official said that no progress on laying down group’s weapons will take place before Israel ceases operations in Gaza and withdraws its forces.
Point No. 2 demands Israel complete without delay all remaining commitments, particularly the cessation of military operations in the Strip.
The American mission to the U.N. “is doing our part every day to expose, confront and defeat this hatred,” said the U.S. diplomat.
