An Israeli baby was lightly wounded in a Palestinian rock attack on the family car, Israeli news site Walla reported on Thursday.

The incident happened in the morning when a resident of the Gush Etzion settlement of Beitar Illit drove out of the town with her five children, among them a three-month-old infant, in the front seat.

Palestinians attacked the car with rocks as it approached the road of the nearby Arab village of Hussan and shattered its windshield, and the infant was hit in the face with shards.

Magen David Adom paramedics treated the baby at the scene, before evacuating him to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
