7 hurt in gun attack on Jewish worshippers' bus

The attack took place at the early hours of Sunday, as Jews were leaving Western Wall rites marking the end of the Sabbath

A gunman wounded seven people aboard a bus carrying Jewish worshippers in Jerusalem on Sunday, Israeli authorities and witnesses said, Qazet.az reports according to state media.

The assailant fled the scene in Jerusalem's Old City, which houses sites holy to Jews, Muslims and Christians and is among areas where Palestinians seek statehood. Israel deems all of Jerusalem its capital - a status not recognised internationally.
