Southern Israel cross-border attacks

Two people were killed and seven other civilians were wounded at the entrance to Jerusalem, Israeli paramedics said.

At first, only one woman was reported killed, but it was later reported that a man in his 70s died in hospital from his wounds.

A gunman opened fire at a bus near Jerusalem's Old City early Sunday, wounding eight Israelis in a suspected Palestinian attack that came a week after violence flared up between Israel and militants in Gaza, police and medics said.

Israeli forces launched a manhunt Friday for attackers who killed three people in the central city of Elad as the country marked the anniversary of its founding, in the latest incident of deadly violence.

An Israeli air-strike killed a Palestinian gunman on Nov. 13 and Gaza militants fired rockets into Israel as a spike in violence edged into a second day.
