TERROR IN ISRAEL: Terrorist Opens Fire On School Bus & Cars In Jordan Valley, 3 Injured


A terrorist opened fire at a bulletproof bus carrying students and two cars in the Jordan Valley, injuring three people, one seriously.

The shooting occurred on Route 90 near the Palestinian village of Al-Auja, near Yericho.

A 30-year-old man is in serious condition and a 13-year-old boy and a 21-year-old man are in light condition. Emergency medical forces administered emergency aid and evacuated the victims to Hadassah Har Hatzofim and Shaare Tzedek Hospitals in Jerusalem.

A large number of security forces were deployed to the area and are carrying out searches for the terrorist who fled the scene.

The moment that the bus was hit by bullets can be seen below: The children on the bus initially thought that Arabs threw rocks at the bus and can be heard responding to the bus driver who asked: “What was that?”

In an ironic twist, the two adult victims were left-wing activists from the extreme-left organization, Looking the Occupation in the Eye, who were on their way to “protect” Palestinian shepherds from “settler violence.”

However, the shooting apparently had no effect on their views, as the organization issued a statement after the attack blaming it on the “rise in the intensity of the oppression of Palestinians” and promised that the incident “won’t prevent us from continuing to work with the Palestinians.”
