An Israeli truck driver is lightly hurt after his vehicle comes under a stone-throwing attack by Palestinians near the West Bank outpost of Havat Gilad.

According to the Rescuers Without Borders emergency service, the driver is being treated at the outpost, with an injury to his head. The Magen David Adom ambulance service says its medics are taking the 35-year-old truck driver to Beilinson Medical Center in Petah Tikva.

Earlier, an Israeli bus was pelted with stones on Route 55, close to the Palestinian town of Azzun. Nobody was reported hurt in that incident.
