One woman was in critical condition, medical officials said.

"Shots were fired from a passing Palestinian vehicle towards Israeli civilians who were standing at the bus station,” the Israeli army said. “Troops who were present nearby responded by firing towards the suspect vehicle, which fled."

Israeli forces were still searching for the attacker, it said.

The Times of Israel reported that the woman who was critically injured was pregnant. Doctors successfully delivered her baby, the paper reported.

Security camera video of the shooting showed a white car slowing down near the bus stop, and then people running for cover, according to news reports. The car is seen stopping briefly and then speeding off as soldiers run over.
