A woman and her husband were wounded after a Molotov cocktail was hurled at their vehicle near Tekoa in Gush Etzion on Friday. The woman sustained light to moderate wounds while the man was lightly injured. They were treated at the scene and then taken to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. The vehicle was burned down.
The incident was the latest in a string of incidents in the West Bank.
On Thursday, a Palestinian in his twenties was shot to death after trying to stab a soldier at a checkpoint in Abu Dis, west of Jerusalem. Troops were conducting a security check on a vehicle suspected of carrying drugs at the time.
The Palestinian did not heed the soldiers' call to stop and one of the combatants opened fire, inflicting serious wounds. Paramedics who treated the man were forced to pronounce him dead.
The incident occurred just hours after troops opened fire at a Palestinian who shot an improvised weapon at Israelis standing at a bus stop in Tapuach Junction in the West Bank.
The shooter was killed on scene. Police sappers searched the body for explosives. No Israelis were hurt in the incident.
