Two Israeli's killed in drive by shooting
16/10/2005 - 17:27:27Palestinian gunmen travelling in a speeding car opened fire at a crowded bus stop in the West Bank today, killing two Israelis and wounding four others, before fleeing the scene, officials said.
The attack occurred at the Gush Etzion junction, a main intersection at a large bloc of settlements south of Jerusalem. The army said troops were searching for the vehicle.
Israeli paramedics said three of the wounded were in serious condition.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
Israeli security officials have warned that following Israel’s recent withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, Palestinian militants would shift their activities to the West Bank.
