A gunman has opened fire on vehicles in the occupied West Bank, wounding at least three people, including a 13 year-old boy, emergency services said.

According to Reuters, the Israeli military said soldiers had blocked routes in the area, adjacent to the town of Al-Auja in the Jordan Valley, following reports and were pursuing the gunman.

Israeli media said a man wearing military uniform opened fire on passing vehicles, hitting a school bus, in which a 13 year-old boy was hurt by shrapnel, and wounding two other men in separate cars.
