An Arab teacher and his students pelted a Jewish driver on the road from Tekoa to the re-opened Efrat-Jerusalem highway, an eyewitness driver reported. Her rented car sustained damage to the windshields and side windows, but she was not injured. Her husband said he was riding behind her in another vehicle and saw 50 youth standing behind a guardrail.
The teacher and youth were on an outing when they attacked. Israeli media have not reported the incident, one of several that occur on a daily basis but which have become accepted as routine. Rock throwings have led drivers to lose control of their vehicles and have led to deaths, as in the case of Amitai Kapach of Bet El.
