Al-Qassam Brigade Member Shoots Israeli Bus In West Bank, 8 Injured

JAKARTA - A Palestinian opened fire on an Israeli bus near Ariel's Jewish settlement in the West Bank. Eight people were injured, while the perpetrators were killed by Israeli forces.

Israel's MDA medical service said four people suffered gunshot wounds, three were in serious condition, and four others were injured by shards of glass.

Reported by Reuters on Friday, November 29, the Palestinian Ministry of Health identified him as a 46-year-old local man.

The armed al-Qassam Brigade Hamas said the man was a member of the group.

Violence has escalated in the West Bank since the start of the Hamas-Israeli war in Gaza in October last year.

Dozens of Israelis were killed in Palestinian street attacks, Israeli authorities said.

Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians including armed fighters, stone-throwing youths, and civilians were killed in clashes with Israeli security forces.
