A young boy killed in a West Bank terror attack late last night is named as 12-year-old Yehoshua Aharon Tuvia Simha.
The Jerusalem-bound bus was shot up by a gunman at a junction by the Palestinian town of al-Khader, the Israel Defense Forces said.
The child was brought in critical condition to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem in nearby Jerusalem, where doctors declared his death early this morning following intensive efforts to save him.
Three others were hurt in the shooting: a woman who suffered moderate wounds and two other people who were lightly hurt.
A hunt is underway for the terrorist.
