Bus station shootout leaves 3 dead In Isreal

An Israeli soldier was killed in a gun attack Sunday at a bus station in Beersheba, southern Israel, according to police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.

The attacker -- identified by police as a Bedouin man -- was killed in the shootout, but so was an Eritrean migrant who was apparently misidentified by a security guard as a second attacker, police said.

Security camera footage authenticated by police showed a chaotic scene of people rushing for cover during which the Eritrean man runs around a kiosk and is shot by the guard.

Another video from the scene, shot on a cell phone and aired by Israeli media, appears to show people angrily kicking the wounded Eritrean in the head and body, and even hitting him with a bench.

At least 10 people, four of them soldiers, were wounded in the shooting. The dead soldier was identified as 19-year-old Sgt. Omri Levi.

Police identified the attacker as Mohannad Al-Oqbi, a 21-year-old Bedouin from the town of Hura, near Beersheba. Authorities have also arrested a member of his family on suspicion of helping him, police spokeswoman Luba Samri said.

The Bedouins are traditionally nomadic Arabic-speaking peoples in the Middle East. In Israel, they hold citizenship, but some of them have clashed with authorities over plans to settle them in cities.

Also Sunday, four Palestinians were injured by live fire in the West Bank, according to a spokesman for the Palestinian Health Ministry.
