Vehicle stoned in heart of Israel: A car traveling on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv Highway Friday was stoned close to the Abu-Gosh interchange near Jerusalem.

 

No injuries were reported in the attack, but the vehicle's windshield was damaged.

 

Police received a call around 3:30 pm about stones being thrown at a vehicle traveling on the highway. Police forces were promptly dispatched to the scene and proceeded to scour the area in search of suspects.

 

Friday's incident is not the first of its kind on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv Highway. At the end of June, stones were hurled at vehicles in the same area. A total of four cars were damaged at the time but no injuries were reported. Police scoured the area following the attack but no suspects were detained.

 

The stoning of vehicles is more common near Arab population centers in northern Israel. Several months ago, a number of such incidents were reported. At the time police detained several young suspects in connection with the stoning attacks.
