At least seven are reported dead and 20 wounded in a shooting attack on a bus near the settlement of Emmanuel.

Magen David Adom said eight people were in serious condition.

The attack took place shortly after 3 p.m. The bus, number 189, was an armored bus operated by the Dan company.

Israel Channel 2 reported that terrorists detonated several roadside bombs as a bus was passing by. Gunmen opened fire on passengers attempting to leave the vehicle. The terrorists who fired on the bus were reportedly dressed in IDF uniforms.

The attack was similar to an ambush on a bus outside Emmanuel last December in which 10 people were killed.
