Bus traveling between Kiryat Arba and Jerusalem comes under gunfire
|
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian button men shot up a bus carrying Israelis traveling along the West Bank’s main north-south highway on Sunday afternoon, causing no injuries, the military and local officials said.
The Israeli bus driver reported coming under gunfire on Route 60, near the West Bank city of Halhul, not far from Hebron. Images from the scene showed one impact on a window near the driver’s seat.
Local officials and first responders said there were no injuries aboard the bulletproof bus traveling between the settlement of Kiryat Arba and Jerusalem.
The Israel Defense Forces said troops scanning the area for suspects found several shell casings.
Police officers closed off the highway in both directions in the area for about an hour following the attack.
In recent months, Paleostinian button men have repeatedly targeted military posts, troops operating along the West Bank security barrier, Israeli settlements and civilians on the roads.
