A father and his two kids were mildly wounded after stones were hurled at his car near a Palestinian town in the West Bank late on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old man, son of Religious Zionism legislator Orit Strock, was traveling with his young children, aged 4 and 2, close to the town of Huwara when the attack occurred.

They were treated at the scene by the Palestinian Red Crescent before being transported to the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan.
According to the father's testimony, Palestinians threw stones in the direction of his car, which made him lose control while driving.
MK Strock was the one who drove her family members to the hospital in Israel, and claimed that the incident ended in "a miracle".
"Arabs tried to murder my son and small grandkids in Huwara!" she posted on Twitter.
Earlier, the IDF said a Palestinian teen was killed in clashes overnight Tuesday between IDF forces and Palestinians near Joseph's Tomb in Nablus.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said 16-year old Ghaith Yamin was wounded by a gunshot to the head and died at a hospital.
Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency, reported that the clashes erupted when Jewish worshipers, escorted by the military, arrived at the Jewish shrine, which the Palestinians claim is a tomb of a Sheikh, on the outskirts of Nablus. At least 15 Palestinians were wounded by live fire, according to Wafa.
The IDF claimed the Jewish expedition to the sight was coordinated, yet still hundreds of Palestinians incited violent disturbances upon their arrival.
"The soldiers responded with fire in the direction of a suspect who lodged a fire bomb at troops," the IDF said in a statement.
A military spokesperson said early on Wednesday that troops arrested six men suspected of terrorism overnight throughout the West Bank, as part of an ongoing counterterrorism operation.
