The dead were identified as two women in their 60s and a 35-year-old police officer. The driver of the bus was seriously wounded.

The Israeli military said "terrorists" opened fire at the vehicles near the village of al-Funduq, located on Highway 55, and then fled the scene.

Israeli media cited military officials as saying at least two Palestinian gunmen carried out the attack and that security forces were pursuing them, setting up roadblocks and encircling several towns in the area.

Magen David Adom paramedic Avichai Ben Tzurya described it as "a very serious attack spread across the road involving multiple vehicles".
