Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the man “threw an unknown substance, possibly acid” at a Jewish family with four children and they were slightly injured. A bystander who saw the incident opened fire on the attacker, wounding him. The Palestinian man was arrested and the injured were taken to a hospital in Hadassah ein Kerem for treatment.

The Israel Defense Forces said the man was a hitchhiker who was given a ride by the family.

Meanwhile, there have been scattered protests in the West Bank over the death of a senior Palestinian Authority official after a confrontation with Israeli troops. A report by Saeb Erakat, a longtime Palestinian negotiator, said Ziyad Abu Ein was killed on Wednesday after clashes with Israeli soldiers in the Palestinian village of Turmusaya, northeast of the West Bank city of Ramallah.
