An Israeli bus driver is lightly hurt after Palestinians hurl stones at his vehicle on the Route 60 highway in the West Bank, medics say.

The Magen David Adom ambulance service says its medics are treating the 50-year-old bus driver at the scene, close to the illegal Givat Assaf outpost, and taking him to a hospital.

There were no other passengers on the bus.

The driver suffered a facial wound caused by the broken glass.
