Gunmen kill at least three Israelis in West Bank attack
Israeli policemen block a main road after gunmen opened fire on cars and a bus carrying Israelis in the occupied West Bank, killing at least three people, near the Palestinian village of Al-Funduq, January 6, 2025

GUNMEN opened fire on a bus carrying Israelis in the occupied West Bank today, killing at least three people and wounding seven. 

Violence has surged in the territory since Israel began its brutal retaliation to Hamas’s October 7 2023 attack from Gaza.

Today’s attack occurred in the Palestinian village of al-Funduq, on one of the main east-west roads crossing the territory. Israel’s Magen David Adom rescue service said two women in their sixties and a man in his forties had been killed and the military said it was looking for the attackers.
