A PALESTINIAN man shot at a bus near Jerusalem’s Old City yesterday morning, wounding eight Israelis in an attack that came a week after Israel’s bombing of Gaza killed 49 people, including 17 children.
Two of the victims were in serious condition, including a pregnant woman with abdominal injuries and a man with gunshot wounds to the head and neck, according to Israeli hospitals treating them.
The shooting happened as the bus waited in a car park near the Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews can pray.
Israeli media identified the suspected attacker as a 26-year-old Palestinian from east Jerusalem.
Police said the suspected attacker turned himself in later on Sunday.
A day after an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire was declared last week, Israeli troops killed three Islamic Jihad militants and wounded dozens of others in a shootout that erupted during a raid in the West Bank city of Nablus.
