Israeli settler bus comes under gunfire attack near Ramallah

Tuesday 20-December-2016

Anonymous gunmen on Monday evening opened fire at an Israeli bus in the illegal settlement region of Binyamin near Ramallah city.

According to the Israeli media at least seven bullets hit an Israeli bus as it was traveling through the Binyamin settlement region en route to Talmon settlement.

The bus which was claimed to be armored sustained bullet holes with no injuries among the settlers aboard it.

Afterwards the Israeli army launched a manhunt for the shooters who withdrew from the area.

In an earlier incident one Jewish settler was slightly injured in a drive-by shooting as he was driving his car on a road near Ofarim settlement north of Ramallah.

Since al-Quds intifada (uprising) started in October 2015 dozens of shooting stabbing and car-ramming attacks happened against Israeli settlers and soldiers in retaliation to violations committed by or under the protection of the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinians and their holy sites in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
