Around 5:30 pm, a Jewish soldier from the settlement of Tapuach wearing a kippah opened fire inside an Egged bus #165 in the northern town of Shfaram.
3 passengers were killed and 6 wounded. The shooter was arrested by police, who tried to protect him from an enraged mob.
Paramedics had a hard time reaching the scene due to the mob surrounding the bus.
Only 5 or 6 policemen are reportedly protecting the shooter from the mob, Channel 2 reported. There are unconfirmed reports from an eyewitness that the shooter was lynched.
The dead including the bus driver, an adult passenger, and a youth.
The jewish soldier was a defector from about a year ago that lived in the settlements and was ultra orthodox. Get your facts straight, stop misconstruing them.
