Bus shooting in occupied West Bank injures eight

A shooting at a bus near the illegal Israeli settlement of Ariel injured at least eight people on Friday in the occupied West Bank, an Israeli rescue service said.

Local sources and eyewitnesses told Wafa that Israeli forces shot dead a Palestinian man in the south of the village of Harris after he allegedly attacked a bus carrying settlers.

At least 24 Israelis, including soldiers, have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during Israeli military raids in the West Bank since 7 October, according to Israeli official figures.

During the same period, at least 747 Palestinians have been killed in the territory by Israeli military or settlers, according to an AFP count based on Palestinian official figures.

All of Israel's settlements in the West Bank are considered illegal under international law.
