2 Israeli Buses Reportedly Attacked Near Egypt Border
Gunmen opened fire on an Israeli bus north of the popular Red Sea resort of
Eilat on Thursday, wounding at least five passengers, according to the police
and ambulance service, and the military reported at least one other attack on
another vehicle in the same area with more casualties, suggesting a coordinated
terrorist assault.
The first attack took place around midday in a sparsely populated desert area

at the bus from a car, sped away from the scene and Israeli forces and
helicopters were chasing them. The military spokesman said there was initial
contact between the Israeli forces and the attackers.
