5 Palestinians confess to attack that critically hurt toddler

The Shin Bet security service announced on Sunday that it had arrested five Palestinian teenagers from the West Bank village of Hares on suspicion of involvement in a stone-throwing attack that caused a major accident and left a toddler fighting for her life.

According to security forces, the five, males aged 16-17, confessed to taking part in the attack 10 days ago. Six people were injured, one critically, after stones thrown by the Palestinian teens caused a car to collide with a truck near the settlement of Ariel.

Yakir resident Adva Bitton and her 3 daughters — aged 2, 4 and 6 — were injured in the crash. The 2-year-old’s condition was described as critical. The truck driver and a bus driver who was also on the scene were lightly injured.

Eyewitnesses said the accident occurred after Bitton lost control of her car because of rocks thrown at her.

Don't even care if civilians are hostile, avoid confrontation if at all possible. Doesn't apply to self defence , of course. By attacking civilians you just give your opposition more ammunition to attack you.
