Israeli child severely burned in Molotov cocktail attack

The incident took place at around 6 p.m. in Ma'ale Shomron, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces confirmed.

The girl's father was also in the car -- which had Israeli license plates -- but he was able to escape the vehicle with only minor burns, according to the paramedic service. Their names have not been released. Both were transported to a hospital.

The spokesperson said the IDF was still searching the area for the attacker Thursday evening.
