A tragic incident occurred in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where a ten-year-old boy lost his life in a shooting attack. The Hadassah Medical Center confirmed the young boy's death after an assailant opened fire on an Israeli civilian bus. Along with the boy's death, three other individuals sustained injuries during the attack.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) immediately launched a manhunt for the attacker responsible for this senseless act of violence. The shooting took place at the el-Khader Junction in the West Bank on Wednesday night, as reported by the IDF.
According to the IDF statement, the terrorist initiated the attack by firing upon the Israeli civilian bus. In response, Israeli security forces swiftly mobilized to track down the assailant. Roadblocks were set up, and the area of Bethlehem was encircled as part of the ongoing search operation.
This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions and violence that persist in the region. The loss of a young life is a somber moment that underscores the need for continued efforts to promote peace and security in the Israeli-occupied territories.
