(Ynet News) Yair Altman - The Israel Police concluded Sunday that Asher Palmer, 25, and his 1-year-old son Yehonatan were killed in a car crash Friday after stones were hurled at their vehicle by Palestinians near Kiryat Arba. An examination of the father's body revealed fractures to his skull. "It was clearly a terrorist attack, Asher's gun had been stolen, there were rocks inside the vehicle and it was clear Asher was hit by a rock," Palmer's family said after police informed them of their conclusion that the incident was in fact the result of a terror attack. The accident was being investigated by a special Hebron District police unit dealing with incidents where rocks are thrown at Israeli vehicles from moving cars. So far, there have been 18 such cases.
