Doctors are fighting to save the life of five-month-old Yehuda Chaim (ben Bat-Sheva) Shoham, who was very critically wounded last night in a Palestinian rock-throwing attack. Arabs threw rocks at his family\'s car as it drove north of Shilo, in the Shomron. The baby, hit by the rock while seated in a back-seat baby chair, has not regained consciousness, and is being treated at Hadassah Hospital in southern Jerusalem. The baby\'s father, Benny Shoham, speaking on Voice of Israel Radio this morning, asked the entire public to pray and recite Psalms on behalf of his son.
At the site of the attack, many dozens of Shilo and neighboring residents blocked the road this morning to Arab traffic. A clash ensued, and IDF soldiers continue to attempt to restore order. At least one Arab structure has been burnt down, and some Israelis were reported to have attempted to enter the nearby Arab village.
