A 12-year old Jewish boy was bathing in Abraham’s Well located in the Jewish enclave of Hebron, when an Arab ran up to the small pool threw a large stone, wounding the boy in the head. The attack which took place while the boy was swimming with two friends, was captured on video. The boy lost consciousness as a result of the attack and fell into the spring.

The two other children ran to a neighbor who called for medical help. The unconscious boy was taken to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital for treatment. The wound in his head required ten stitches.
