A woman was killed and 10 others were wounded in a "terror attack" in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba, police said Sunday, APA reports. The attacker, wearing a bulletproof vest and armed with a gun and a knife, opened fire at Beersheba's central bus station, authorities reported. They have launched a search for any accomplices who may have helped the assailant reach the scene. Zaki Heller, spokesman for Magen David Adom, Israel's national emergency pre-hospital medical and blood services organization, told reporters that a 20-year-old woman died from gunshot wounds. The attacker was shot by Israeli security forces and later pronounced dead at the scene, Heller added. Meanwhile, Israel's state-owned Kan TV reported that the assailant was a resident of Hura, a Bedouin village in the Negev Desert. Source: Azeri-Press News Agency
