Seven Injured as Soldiers' Bus Comes under Fire by Palestinian Gunmen in the Jordan Valley
(Times of Israel) Emanuel Fabian - Shots were fired at a bus carrying Israeli soldiers on a major highway in the Jordan Valley on Sunday, injuring seven people, the military and medics said. The Israel Defense Forces said Palestinian gunmen opened fire at the bus near the settlement of Hamra, seriously wounding one soldier. Another five soldiers and the bus's civilian driver were hurt. The attack came amid rising violence in the West Bank. Two suspected gunmen were arrested shortly after by Israeli soldiers and police. The pair were named by Palestinian media as Muhammed and Walid Turkman, apparent relatives, and residents of the Jenin area in the northern West Bank. A third suspect fled, and a search has been launched to capture him.
