In what police believe was a nationalistic motivated attack, a two-year-old toddler was wounded from an object that was thrown at a car that she was riding in in the Armon Hanatziv area of Jerusalem on Thursday evening.
Police national spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said that the police believed the attack was nationalistically motivated. Rosenfeld said that the area Tzur Baher, adjacent to the attack site, was being searched for the perpetrators. He added that stones were thrown on Thursday at a number of vehicles in the area.
Magen David Adom EMS treated the girl at the scene on Asher Weiner street and transported her to hospital at Hadassah University Medical Center in the city.
MDA said that the toddler was in moderate to serious condition and that she was not fully conscious when they arrived at the scene but that her condition improved on the way to the hospital.
The girl was riding in the back seat of her family's car with her two brothers when the attack occurred.
Yesterday, five Arab youths were indicted at Jerusalem Magistrate Court after being arrested last week in east Jerusalem for allegedly hurling Molotov cocktails at the IDF base, Ofrit, adjacent to the Hebrew University on Mount Scopus.
According to the indictment, from August through November the defendants – all of Issawiya and aged 14- 15 – conspired on at least 10 occasions to hurl the glass bottles, filled with flammable liquid, at military and civilian vehicles entering or exiting the base’s access road.
