Young boy killed, several bus passengers wounded in West Bank terror shooting
[IsraelTimes] Nearby Jerusalem hospital declares death of 10-year-old after he’s critically hurt in attack; other 3 victims treated for moderate and light wounds; IDF scouring area for gunman

A young boy was fatally shot and several people maimed in a terror attack targeting a Jerusalem-bound bus in the West Bank late Wednesday night.

The 10-year-old child was brought at death's door to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem in nearby Jerusalem, where doctors declared his death early Thursday following intensive efforts to save him. He was later named as Yehoshua Aharon Tuvia Simha of the Beitar Illit settlement — where the bus had departed from.

Three others were hurt in the shooting: a woman who suffered moderate wounds and two other people who were lightly hurt.

The bus was shot up by the gunman at a junction by the Paleostinian town of al-Khader, the Israel Defense Forces said, before proceeding with the maimed to the Tunnels Checkpoint.

The terrorist remains on the lam. The IDF announced troops were setting up roadblocks while encircling Bethlehem as part of the manhunt.

A video clip filmed shortly after the shooting showed passengers fleeing the bus after it arrived at the checkpoint, as security forces there rushed toward the vehicle amid the sound of gunfire. It was not clear from the footage where all the shots emanated from.

The attack came after three Israelis were lightly injured by gunfire the previous night while visiting Joseph’s Tomb in the Paleostinian city of Nablus without coordinating with the military, and also followed a car-ramming attack in the southern West Bank over the weekend in which a soldier was seriously maimed.

Violence has risen sharply in the West Bank since the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

-led Death Eaters stormed southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages.

Since then, 42 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another six members of the security forces were killed in festivities with operatives in the West Bank amid a major counterterrorism offensive that has been accompanied by sharp restrictions on Paleostinian movement.

Israeli troops have arrested some 5,250 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank as part of the post-October 7 military operations, including more than 2,050 affiliated with Hamas.

According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, some 800 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in the same span of time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or Death Eaters carrying out attacks.
