Palestinian media names the two gunmen arrested by Israeli security forces following a shooting attack against a bus in the Jordan Valley earlier today.

The reports say apparent relatives Muhammed and Walid Turkman are from the Jenin refugee camp and nearby village of Burqin, in the northern West Bank.

The pair were hurt after their vehicle caught fire following the attack that left seven people — six soldiers and a civilian bus driver — wounded.
