Israeli media reported on Wednesday that an Israeli settler was injured in a shooting operation that targeted a settler bus near the Hamra checkpoint in the Jordan Valley.
The media mentioned that Israeli occupation forces were combing the area in search of the shooters, who opened fire at the vehicle from a moving car. In addition, occupation forces blocked the road near the operation site.
Israeli media highlighted that today's operation site in the Jordan Valley is near where three illegal settlers were killed in a separate shooting operation in early April.
Wednesday's operation comes to a couple of hours after Israeli media reported that six settlers were injured, one seriously, in a shooting operation that was carried out by 20-year-old Palestinian Mohannad Mohammad Mazar'a in the illegal settlement of "Ma'ale Adumim", east of occupied Al-Quds.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health later announced Mazar’a martyrdom.
