A left wing NGO's bus was the victim of a rock throwing attack near Hebron in the West Bank Friday, lightly wounding three.

The assailants who carried out the attack in south Mount Hebron were Palestinian children, Breaking the Silence told Haaretz. The three wounded were participating on a Breaking the Silence tour at the time of the attack.

The group, which was founded by veterans of the Israel Defense Force, is involved in exposing claims of army misconduct in the Palestinian territories. The veterans run tours around the West Bank to 'break the silence' or tell of their darker IDF experiences, while returning to areas where similar human rights violations are said to be taking place.

"To everyone's benefit, no one involved was seriously wounded," said the Breaking the Silence spokesperson of the incident.

"This is the reality in the territories and we are working to change it," he said.

Breaking the Silence has recently come under fire after a right wing NGO released a video calling them 'moles' and accused the organization of treason. In the ensuing days, Israeli ministers have denounced the group, and Education Minister Naftali Bennett banned them from entering schools.
