An Israeli man was lightly hurt in an apparent rock attack on a car on Route 60, near the Palestinian village of Sinjil northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank.
The man, who had a female passenger with him in the car, kept driving after the vehicle was pelted with rocks, until they reached the entrance to the nearby Israeli settlement of Ofra.
Security forces were en route to the scene, according to initial reports.
A report by the Magen David Adom rescue service said the incident took place shortly before 10:09 p.m.
The man was lightly hurt in his arms, and was suffering from anxiety after the incident, as was the woman, MDA said.
The incident was initially misreported as a shooting attack.
