According to an IDF spokesperson quoted by Arutz Sheva: “Following the previous report regarding the shooting attack adjacent to the Ofra Junction, shots were fired from a passing Palestinian vehicle towards Israeli civilians who were standing at the bus station. IDF troops who were present nearby responded by firing towards the suspect vehicle, which fled.” . . .
On Thursday, the United Nations rejected a resolution to condemn Hamas, which was introduced by the United States.
