Al Jazeera reported on Sunday that Palestinians in a car overtook the bus, citing eyewitnesses. After that, the bus started shooting. When it stops, it tries to set fire. However, an Israeli broadcaster is airing a video of the car being set on fire. A bomb exploded inside.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. Israeli authorities said they arrested two suspected gunmen as they fled the scene. The country's defense minister, Benny Gantz, also confirmed that his forces were able to quickly chase down the suspects.
Israeli military operations in the West Bank and Gaza have escalated over the past few months. Palestinians are being held in Israeli prisons without specific charges. Attacks on Israeli forces took place in protest.
