The Israeli ambulance announced that two Israelis were injured in a shooting that targeted a bus on Route 55 near the village of Nabi Elias, east of the city of Qalqilya in the northern West Bank, while combing operations are still continuing in search of the perpetrator of the attack.
Al Jazeera's correspondent said that the talk was about a single attacker who opened fire on a settler bus, wounding two of its passengers, one of whom was seriously injured, and he succeeded in withdrawing from the area.
The Israeli military spokesman said that the army sent reinforcements to the scene of the shooting, while an Israeli security source confirmed that the perpetrator of the attack set up an ambush for cars near the village, which led to a female settler being seriously injured inside the bus and another with light injuries in a car near it.
Israeli media also reported that the Eliyahu crossing area was closed on both sides, near which the shooting took place.
