Israeli family suffer burns after West Bank acid attack
The Guardian ^ | 13 Dec 14 | Staff writer

Five members of an Israeli family have suffered chemical burns after a substance believed to be acid was thrown over them reportedly by a Palestinian man in the West Bank.

Police said the victims included four girls who were sprayed with a corrosive substance by a man who was then shot in the leg by a bystander. The incident took place close to a checkpoint near Beitar Illit, in the southern West Bank.

Paramedics who treated the family – including three children aged between about eight and 10 – said the wounds appeared to be acid burns affecting their limbs.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said the family had stopped to pick up the man, who was hitchhiking. He got into their car and began throwing liquid on the family before attempting to attack the father with a small screwdriver.

As he fled the scene he reportedly attempted to attack other people with the screwdriver while being chased by an armed civilian before he was shot. Police said the attacker had “poured an unknown substance suspected to be acid on a Jewish family”.

Media reports later identified the man as a Palestinian from the village of Nahalin, near Bethlehem.

Separately, police are investigating an incident in which a Palestinian driver crashed into concrete barriers at a hitchhiking post where a number of soldiers were standing. It was unclear whether it was an attempted attack or an accident.

Tensions are high following the death of a Palestinian minister, Ziad Abu Ein, on Wednesday during a confrontation with Israeli security forces at a demonstration near a village outside Ramallah. The Israeli military and police have stepped up their presence in Jerusalem and elsewhere due to fears of more violence.

Notice the caption of the terrorist slinging rocks at people. A "protester." My a__ he is a "protester." He is a using a form of weaponry that is deadly.

He is a "protester" as much as the murdering thugs in Ferguson were "protesting."

A Palestinian protester uses a slingshot to throw stones at Israeli soldiers during clashes following a protest against the near-by Jewish settlement of Qadomem, in the West Bank village of Kofr Qadom.

Acid. Rocks. Bombs. Bullets. Shrapnel. Knives. Gasoline. Clubs.

The press calls the use of all of these by the Muslims as "protesting."
