In the footage from the incident, one of the girls is heard saying: "I love my life, I don't want to die today.".
Sukkot said on his Twitter account: "Stuck with the girls in the middle of the riots in Huwara right now. They're grabbing stones and driving under a local balcony. Stones in front and stones behind. You can't drive in any direction. The girls are crying for their lives. A righteous soldier who finally gets us out by shooting stones in the air. A very, very bad movie!"

As reported by Haredim 10, severe clashes developed in the afternoon between settlers and Palestinian rioters in Huwara, after dozens of Arabs threw stones at Jewish vehicles passing on the road.

Residents reported that as a result of the stone-throwing, several Jews were injured, including three children whose vehicle was hit by Arabs at the Habitot intersection. Damage was caused to a large number of vehicles.
One of the stones hit a car door and miraculously didn't shatter the window - next to him sat a toddler about two years old.
Following the riot, residents who were passing by on the road and encountered a shower of stones, got out of their vehicles and chased the rioters into their homes. "We are not willing to have a duck shooting range every day and wait for the next murder," said one resident.
The Jewish settlers also smashed the windows of Palestinian vehicles.
Following the events, IDF forces conducted live fire and fired tear gas grenades to separate the sides - and closed the road to traffic.
Residents from Samaria protested that instead of imposing a curfew on the Arabs of Hawara, the army is closing the main thoroughfare to traffic.
