A gunman opened fire at a bus station in the Israeli city of Beersheba on Sunday, resulting in the death of one woman and injuring 10 others, according to emergency services. The attacker was subsequently killed, as reported by the ambulance service. A witness at the scene informed N12 News that soldiers had fired at the assailant, who media identified as a member of the Bedouin minority in Israel's Negev desert.
Police have classified the shooting as a terrorist attack but have not disclosed the gunman's identity. Israeli security forces are on high alert throughout the country, anticipating possible pro-Palestinian street attacks on the eve of the first anniversary of Hamas' assault on southern Israel last year, which led to the Gaza war.
