At least ten people were wounded after two buses were attacked in southern Israel on Thursday, Israeli radio reported. In the first attack, gunmen ambushed and fired at a bus traveling near Egypt’s Sinai Desert region bordering Israel leaving at least four people wounded. Al Jazeera reports that five people were killed and at least ten injured in the attack on the bus. A vehicle carrying the gunmen appeared to have followed the bus as it left the Red Sea resort town of Eilat, security officials said. Security forces are chasing the gunmen. Two helicopters have been deployed to join the pursuit. A high-ranking military official in the Egyptian security forces rejected any Egyptian involvement in the attack on the bus saying that the assailants came from the Palestinian territories, Masrawi web portal reported. “Egypt has nothing to do with the attack… It would be very difficult for attackers to break through the guarded border… Moreover, there is no possibility the shooting came from Egyptian territory as it is situated far from the place of the attack,” the official said. The second attack came close to the site where the initial incident occurred, the Kol Israel radio station said. Six people are believed to have been wounded in the shooting.
