It is important to note that the operation was conducted against Israeli settlers who had built their settlement over the rubble of Palestinian villages that had been completely wiped out, with their residents either massacred or exiled.
Al Mayadeen's correspondent, in turn, confirmed that Israeli occupation forces shut down the area surrounding the scene of the operation.
Moreover, our correspondent reaffirmed that the targeted bus was unarmored and as such the bullets went straight through it.
