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.

Car ramming operation targets occupation police near Qalqilya

A car-ramming operation took place near the "Kochav Yair" settlement, west of Qalqilya, earlier on April 3, at dawn, injuring four Israeli occupation forces, two of whom are in critical condition.

Meanwhile, the Israeli police reported that the individual who carried out the operation had attempted to stab security personnel at a military checkpoint near the location of the operation.

Israeli Channel 12 reported that "an individual carrying a knife arrived at the Eliyahu checkpoint near Qalqilya and tried to stab the security guards there."

Israeli media disclosed that the military was actively seeking a potential second suspect and that forces had initiated a thorough search of the area after an individual exited the vehicle used in the operation near the Eliyahu checkpoint.
