Security forces have arrested several suspects in a rock-throwing attack in Judea and Samaria on Sunday that left an Israeli woman seriously wounded, the IDF reported Sunday evening.
The operation, which rested on intelligence from the Shin Bet security agency, was ongoing. The village of Deir Nidham, some 19 km. (12 miles) northwest of Ramallah, has been blockaded, and roadblocks have been put in place on local traffic routes. The suspects have been transferred to the Shin Bet for interrogation.

The victim in Sunday's attack, Rebecca Teitel, 40, was hit in the face by a rock while driving with her children on Highway 465 near the Neve Tzuf settlement. Her children were not injured.
Binyamin Regional Council head Yisrael Gantz said Sunday evening that Teitel had undergone surgery and was been given further treatment in the neurological department of Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer.
"Rebecca is responsive, but her condition is still listed as serious," he said. "I am here with her family at the hospital to give a brave hug from all the residents of Binyamin."
