| Jerusalem: Eighteen wounded in attack on bus | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Eighteen people have been wounded, six of them seriously, in a shooting and stabbing attack on a bus in Jerusalem, the Israeli ambulance service says. | |
| Police said officers arrived at the scene and found two assailants inside a bus. They were "shot and neutralised". | |
| Elsewhere in the city, a man ran over three people at a bus station and then stabbed them with a knife, police said. The attacker was shot by police. | |
| Many Israelis have been stabbed by Palestinians in the past fortnight. | |
| Earlier on Tuesday, a Palestinian stabbed an Israeli man, moderately wounding him, at a bust stop in Raanana, north of Tel Aviv, police said. | |
| The attacker was captured and reportedly beaten by bystanders at the scene. | |
| Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have escalated since last month, fuelled by clashes at a flashpoint holy site in Jerusalem, in the West Bank, and across the Gaza border, as well as the wave of stabbings. |
