Stone terror in Jerusalem: a two years old toddler was critically wounded on Asher Viner street in East Talpiot, Jerusalem. The family traveled by car, when suddenly stones were thrown at them.

The police are searching for the stone throwers, apparently Arabs.

They told us she was hit by a large rock in the head while travelling by car," said Rafael Herbst, paramedic of MDA. "We immediately started to give her medical treatment and transported her by mobile intensive care unit. During the medical treatment, she began to recover and regained consciousness. We defined her in fair condition and transported her to Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital."
