Several people were wounded, including a 12-year-old boy, in a suspected terror shooting targeting a bus traveling on a West Bank highway south of Jerusalem, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says.

The boy was seriously wounded by gunfire, medics say, and a woman in her 40s was lightly wounded as well.

They are being taken to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Medical Center, according to MDA, which says two other people suffering from minor wounds were also evacuated for medical treatment.

The IDF says it has received a report of a shooting attack in the area and will provide additional updates soon.

The Jerusalem-bound bus was traveling on Route 60 from the Etzion Bloc area when it was targeted by gunfire, according to a military source. It then proceeded to the Tunnels Checkpoint with the wounded passengers.

The gunman remains at large.
