Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem in Jerusalem announces a young boy has died of wounds he suffered in a terror shooting on an Israeli bus traveling on a West Bank highway.
A statement from the hospital says the child was brought to the trauma unit in critical condition, with doctors forced to declare his death after intensive efforts to save him.
The terror victim, who has yet to be named, was earlier identified by the Magen David Adom ambulance service as a 12-year-old boy.
Three other passengers were wounded in the attack — a woman who was moderately injured and two people who were lightly hurt.
