Violent Palestinian rioters routinely attack Israeli forces in Judea and Samaria. Palestinians throw Molotov cocktails at soldiers, drop large stones on them from roofs, and shoot at them.In addition to assaults on soldiers, Palestinians also engage frequently in rock-throwing at Israeli civilian vehicles. In one high profile incident, a Palestinian rock thrower murdered an Israeli infant named Adele Biton.After such incidents, the Israeli military raids Palestinian towns to arrest people involved in terror attacks.Read 8 Israeli troops killed in Lebanon in first Israeli casualties of ground invasion IDFPalestinian riots
