Tonight (Sunday), IDF and GSS forces arrested a number of suspects in the village of Deir Nizam in Judea and Samaria, on suspicion of being involved in a stone-throwing attack in which Rivka Teitel was seriously injured near the town of Neve Tzof in the Binyamin region.
The suspects were transferred for GSS interrogation.
The IDF spokesman said that the fighters continued to operate in the area and in the village of Deir Nizam until the hunt and the investigation were completed, as well as blockades in the area.

Teitel, a woman in her 30s, was driving the family car with two of her children, ages 15 and 11, unharmed.
An IDF force launched a pursuit of stone-throwing suspects and surrounded the nearby village of Deir Nizam, in the area of the Ephraim Territorial Brigade.
Dr. Yoram Klein, director of the Trauma and Critical Surgery Unit at Sheba Medical Center, spoke about the condition of the wounded woman at a press briefing.
"She came to us in critical condition, with a significant head injury," Dr. Klein said.
"In the coming hours, we will consider whether to operate on her, depending on her condition and the results that will come from the imaging tests. She is currently conscious, and still a little agitated. I received the details from MDA staff about the circumstances of her injury.
I have not talked to her about the incident yet, because when she arrived at the trauma room, her condition could not be asked many questions. "
