According to Israeli reports, several people were injured in an armed attack on a bus near an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Three people were seriously injured by gunfire and another person was moderately injured, according to the Israeli rescue service Magen David Adom. Other people were also injured by broken glass.

The suspected perpetrator opened fire on the Israeli bus, the Israeli army said. He was "neutralized" on site. The Ministry of Health in Ramallah reported the death of the Palestinian.

According to Israeli reports, the attack took place near the settlement of Ariel in the north of the West Bank.

Palestinians have been carrying out more attacks in Israel and the occupied West Bank for some time. At the same time, violence by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank has also risen sharply.
