Israeli jets hit Palestinian targets after fatal terror attacks

Y-NET reports Palestinian sources as saying that Israel Air Force planes had attacked installations of the Palestinian Authority this evening after two terrorist attacks earlier killed 10 Israelis and wounded dozens more. Six of the injured are reported to be in critical condition. The reprisals were decided on in an emergency meeting of Israel's security cabinet.

A bus travelling near Emmanuel in the Shomron was hit by a roadside bomb at about 6pm. Terrorists then opened fire on the passengers. Ten Israelis were killed and dozens injured, many of them severely. The Hamas organization said it was responsible for the attack. At Neve Dekalim in the Gaza strip, four Israelis were injured by a suicide bomber.
