A firetruck traveling near the settlement of Beitar Ilit south of Jerusalem was attacked by a group of some 15 stone throwers, the Ynet news website reports.

No injuries are reported but the fire engine sustains light damage.

Earlier in the day, a convoy of two cars traveling from the settlement of Tekoa to Jerusalem was attacked by a similarly large group of stone throwers near the village of Beit Sahur, causing damage to the family’s vehicles.

The passengers, including a 6-month-old baby, escape unharmed.
