List of deaths and critical injuries caused by Palestinian stone-throwing
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Both Jews and Arabs have been killed or critically injured by Palestinian stone-throwing during the Israeli-Arab conflict. Rock throwing has caused the deaths of at least 14 Israelis, of whom 3 were Arab Israelis.[1] This list includes Arabs killed or critically injured while riding in vehicles supposed by rock-throwers to be carrying Jews. In order of date of injury, these individuals include:
Killed[edit]
- On January 29, 1983, an Israeli soldier, Esther Ohana (21), was killed when she was struck by a rock thrown at the windshield of a military vehicle driven by a senior military commander through the West Bank Palestinian city of ad-Dhahiriya on the Beersheva-Hebron highway.,[2][3] She died in hospital on February 12, after two weeks in a vegetative state.[4]
- On 24 February 1989, Staff Sergeant Binyamin Meisner died when a cement block dropped from a rooftop by a Fatah activist, Samir Na’neesh, struck his head. The incident occurred when his IDF patrol entered the casbah in Nablus and walked into an ambush. He became the 5th Israeli soldier to be killed in the First Intifada.[5][6][7]
- On September 3, 1989, during the first intifada, a reserve soldier, Haim Sharabani, 38, died in hospital of injuries to the brain sustained when he was struck in the head by a Palestinian rock-thrower in Khan Yunis, Gaza, two or three weeks earlier.[8][9]
- November 15, 1990, a four-year-old boy, from the Palestinian village of Talluza (north of Nablus), was killed when he was struck in the head by a rock "hurled through the windshield of his parents' car".[10][11] Security sources did not name the boy or his family.[10]
- Chava Wechsberg was an 11-year-old girl killed on February 24, 1993 when the windshield of the car she was riding in was smashed by a rock thrown by Palestinians, causing it to veer out of control and crash.[12] Although Wachsberg's death was not widely covered at the time it occurred, it has been cited in the decades since her death to make the point that "A rock can also be a lethal weapon."[1][13][14][15][16]
- On October 6, 2000, Bachor Jean (54) was killed by rocks thrown to his car while driving near the Arab Israeli town of Jisr az-Zarqa. The rocks struck his chest after shattering the windshield.[4][17]

- On 5 June 2001, Yehuda Shoham, a 5-month-old baby, was killed when a rock hurled by stone-throwing Palestinians crashed through the window of the car he was riding in, crushing his skull.[18]
- On 23 September 2011, Asher (25) and Yonatan Palmer (1) from the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba outside Hebron, were killed when the car Asher was driving was attacked by stone-throwing Palestinians, causing it to crash killing him along with his infant son.[19]
- On 14 March 2013,[20] the Biton's family car was stoned near the Palestinian village of Kif el-Hares. The Biton family were returning to their home in the Israeli settlement of Yakir. Control was lost of the car and it ran into the back of a truck. Adele Biton was critically injured along with her mother and 3 sisters who were moderately injured, and died two years later.[21]
- On 14 September 2015 Alexander Levlovich (64) died after his car crashed, on a road that was at the time subject to stoning by Palestinians.[22]
Seriously injured[edit]
- In May, 1990 Ahikam Simantov, then 7-months old, was permanently disabled by a rock that hit him in the head when it was thrown at the car in which he was riding near Jerusalem, Israel.[23][24] Surgery failed to repair the child's damaged brain.[25]
- In June 2005, a stone thrown by a Palestinian protestor in Bil'in hit an Israeli soldier, causing him to lose an eye.[26]
- In April 2014 the car in which Yedaya and Hadassah Sharchaton and their infant daughter Nitzan were driving was attacked by rock-throwers and overturned, leaving Yedaya badly injured. Palestinian passers-by came to their aid, extracting the mother and child from the car and waiting with them for the ambulance to arrive.[27][28]
