By The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff
A minibus transporting teachers through the Jordan Valley was attacked by Palestinian terrorists in a drive-by shooting around 8:20 a.m.
Two people are dead and four wounded in the shooting which took place 300 meters south of the Adam Bridge junction, not far from the border crossing into Jordan, reports The Jerusalem Post's Margot Dudkevitch.
Magen David Adom has only confirmed that one victim, a female teacher, was mortally wounded and died on the scene.
Terrorists in a vehicle with Palestinian license plates reportedly drove past the minibus and opened fire with assault rifles.
The driver was said to be seriously wounded in the attack and additional victims were wounded in the crash which occurred in the wake of the shooting.
MDA emergency medical personnel arrived on the scene within minutes of the shooting and minibus crash.
The IDF has dispatched a helicopter to the scene of the attack to evacuate the wounded to Haemek Hospital in Afula.
The terrorists fled the scene.

Daniel 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days [evenings and mornings]; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
