"A stone smashed through the windshield. Falastin Maali, 31, raised her arm to shield herself, but the rock glanced off her head and struck her 7-year-old daughter, Hadeel, in the back seat. Maali, who is pregnant, was released last week from a hospital in Tel Aviv, Israel, after doctors performed two operations to stop bleeding in her brain. Her 7-month-old fetus survived. Hadeel suffered a fractured skull but is expected to fully recover. The attack drew headlines in Israeli media because the suspected assailants are Jewish and the victims are Arab. It was the latest in increasingly bold attacks by Jewish settlers against unarmed Palestinian civilians in the West Bank, Israeli police say."" (thanks Olivia)
