A group of Palestinians hurled stones at buses travelling near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem on Thursday, wounding 15 Jews in two separate incidents. The rocks shattered the windshield and several bus windows and hit passengers. Twelve of the passengers that were wounded are members of the same family -- a couple and their 10 children, who had come from northern Israel to visit Jerusalem and the Western Wall. The family members, including an infant, suffered mild injuries. Two other passengers -- a father and his 5-year-old son -- also sustained mild injuries. Magen David Adom paramedics treated the wounded at the scene and rushed four of them to the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem for further treatment. Earlier in the day a man suffered minor wounds in a similar incident.
