A shooting attack on a bus in Jerusalem left seven people injured, two of them in a serious condition, on Saturday night (13), the Israeli emergency services said.
The bombing took place near the tomb of King David, south of the Old City, and the suspect fled the scene. Israeli police closed access to the Old City and were searching the area with the help of helicopters.
Rescuers told the Jerusalem Post newspaper that the bus was carrying pilgrims who had left the Western Wall, a holy site for Jews, when the gunman opened fire indiscriminately. The motive for the attack is unclear.
In the last week, Israel carried out bombings against the Gaza Strip, leaving dozens of Palestinians dead, and the radical Islamic Jihad group fired hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory. Military incursions into the West Bank were also recorded.
