The suspect was seen fleeing the scene on foot and the Israeli military has launched an investigation into the incident
A suspected Palestinian terrorist opened fire at a bus carrying Israeli civilians near the Karmei Zur community in the West Bank, north of Hebron, before fleeing the scene on foot.
There were no reported casualties. The Israeli military said they found bullet casings at the scene and launched an investigation into the incident.
"In the afternoon there was a shooting that miraculously ended with no casualties - terrorists shot at a civilian bus between Kiryat Arba and Karmei Tzur," said head of Gush Etzion Regional Council and the chairman of the Yesha Council, Shlomo Na'im.
"Terrorism must be eradicated, by strengthening Jewish settlement and presence throughout Judea and Samaria," he continued, using the biblical name of the West Bank. "We support the Israeli military soldiers and the new government in their war for the security of the settlement and the security of the entire State of Israel."
