Palestinian news agency Ma’an reported that settlers threw rocks that smashed the windshields of two buses, injuring seven kids as they returned from a school trip. They were rushed to Rafedia Hospital in Nablus, Ma’an added, citing Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors settlement activity in the northern West Bank, as well as an unnamed PA official.
