The teenage Jewish boy seriously wounded by Arabs in Hevron Tuesday midday was still in the operating room at 6:30 p.m.  An Arab threw a chunk from a  cinderblock at him, and hit him in the head.

He has several fractures, including at least one around the edge of his eye socket and a broken jaw.

His family and friends have asked the public to pray for his speedy recovery. For that purpose, his Jewish name is Elyasaf ben Norit.
