An Israeli bus driver was lightly wounded on Tuesday when a brick was thrown at his vehicle in the Palestinian village of Hajjah in northern Samaria, according to Israeli media reports.
The 51-year-old reportedly entered the town to refuel his vehicle and was confronted by local residents who then assaulted him, hurling a brick through the windshield and striking him in the head.
He was treated by first responders at the scene before being transported to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva for further treatment.
IDF helicopter targeted
Terrorists opened fire on an Israel Defense Forces helicopter flying low over the Palestinian city of Tulkarm in Samaria on Wednesday morning, according to Arab reports.
Video circulating online appears to show the gunmen shooting at the helicopter.
