The IDF says it has launched a manhunt after a Palestinian hurled a stone at an Israeli vehicle near the West Bank town of Udala, lightly wounding an infant.

The incident occurred on a section of the Route 60 highway that was built to bypass the flashpoint town of Huwara.

According to medics, the stone struck the windshield, sending glass shards that hit a 2-month-old baby who was sitting in the front seat.

The driver headed to the nearby IDF Samaria Regional Brigade base, where the baby was treated by medics. She did not require hospitalization.

“Upon receiving the report, IDF soldiers were dispatched to the scene and began searching for the terrorist,” the military says.
