Yitzhar teen arrested for allegedly attacking Palestinian family
By Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Yitzhar, Palestinians 

Police on Sunday arrested a teenager from the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar who allegedly hurled rocks at a Palestinian car over the weekend.

The youth, 16, has not confessed to involvement, but has admitted to being on the scene at the time of the incident.

Mali Ma'ali and her 7-year-old daughter Hadeel were wounded Friday when unknown assailants hurled rocks and a brick at their car as it was passing the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar.

Security officials in the area told Haaretz the incident is severe, and they would investigate suspicions that the assailants are settlers who live in the area.

Local authorities in the area of Judea and Samaria where the incident took place met with police Friday to demand they bring the assailants to justice.

Civilian authorities allowed the mother and daughter to drive to Tel Aviv for medical treatment at Ichilov Hospital. The two victims, residents of Ramallah, were visiting relatives in Tul Karm and were on their way home when the incident took place.

Recent weeks have seen an upturn in the number of reports of violent incidents against Palestinians by West Bank settlers.

This week, two Italian peace activists issued a complaint that they and a group of Palestinian children were attacked by settlers.

The activists were reportedly escorting the children home from Summer camp outside Hebron, even though the children were supposed to have been escorted by IDF troops due to recent episodes of violence by settlers.
