West Bank Drive-By Shooting Injures 7

by VOA News

   A pregnant woman was among seven Israelis wounded in a drive-by
   shooting by a suspected Palestinian assailant outside a Jewish
   settlement in the West Bank.

   "Shots were fired from a passing Palestinian vehicle towards Israeli
   civilians who were standing at the bus station," the Israeli army said
   Sunday.

   The woman was said to be in critical condition. Her husband was
   slightly injured.

   Israeli forces at the scene fired at the car and are now looking for
   the attacker.

   The last deadly attack against Israelis in the West Bank was on
   November 26 when a Palestinian rammed Israeli soldiers with a car and
   injured three of them. The assailant in that incident was later killed
   by Israeli forces.
