In a separate incident, rocks were thrown at a bus near the Yafo Gate in the city. As a result, the driver lost control and hit a wall. The driver was lightly wounded but the passengers were unhurt.
Police are conducting extensive searches for the rock throwers.
On Yom Kippur, a woman in labor and her husband were attacked as they rushed to the hospital.
At 2:30 a.m., as they drove near the Har Homa neighborhood on their way to Hadassah Ein Karem hospital in Jerusalem, several Palestinian Authority terrorists jumped out and began to hurl rocks at the car.
Asher Palmer and his infant son Yonatan, who were killed by terrorists several weeks ago, were also victims of a rock attack. Their murderers were captured last week.

| Riot in Shuafat |
An Arab woman in a northern Jerusalem suburb has been indicted for incitement and assault.
Abir Abu Radir, 42, was indicted in the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court on Monday on charges of incitement to violence and aggravated assault of a police officer.
Abu Radir was charged in connection with her participation in two demonstrations that took place in January 2009 and June 2010.
According to the Jerusalem Prosecutor's Office, the suspect called out during the demonstrations, “Beloved Nasrallah will bomb Tel Aviv!” In addition, it is alleged that she kicked police officers and resisted arrest.
The Arab woman's remarks were a reference to Hizbullah terrorist chief Hassan Nasrallah, who led hundreds of barrages of Katyusha rocket attacks on northern Israel in the 2006 Second Lebanon War. Nasrallah has repeatedly threatened to bomb Tel Aviv “the next time.”
Abu Radir is a resident of Shuafat, one side of which is an Arab village and the other side of which has been developed into a Jewish neighborhood as Jerusalem has grown and encompassed the area.
This is not the first anti-Israel incident involving a Shuafat Arab resident. In the past, a terrorist cell was uncovered in the northern Jerusalem neighborhood, and there have been other incidents as well.
Most recently, an Arab woman from the neighborhood was arrested Sunday morning when a long knife was found in her bag during a routine check at the entrance to the Population and Immigration Authority office in Jerusalem.

The IDF spokesperson's office announced Monday that an explosive device detonated in northern Gaza, killing a terrorist who was trying to plant a bomb near the security fence separating Israel's southern communities from Hamas-ruled Gaza.
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine's military wing claimed the man killed was one of two members of their group dispatched on the "jihad mission," the Palestinian Authority's semi-official Maan news agency reported.
The terror group claimed the dead man, 22-year old Ahmad al-Azameh, was killed by IDF fire.
But the IDF denied the claim saying al-Azameh's death was the result of a "working accident" - IDF parlance for an explosives malfunction - that occurred while planting the bomb.
The IDF reported the other terrorist was believed to be unharmed with his whereabouts unknown.
