A 12-year-old boy was seriously wounded in a shooting attack on a civilian bus traveling from the Gush Etzion area to Jerusalem, Israeli authorities reported late on Wednesday.
The shots were apparently fired from a passing vehicle near the al-Khader junction. The bus reached a military checkpoint carrying the injured, where emergency responders provided medical assistance.
The IDF confirmed the incident as a terror attack. A 40-year-old woman sustained minor gunshot wounds, while two others were lightly wounded by shrapnel. All four victims were evacuated to the capital's Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center for treatment.
Border Police forces have launched an extensive search to locate the assailant.
