A gunman opened fire at a bus station in Beersheba, Israel, on Sunday, killing one woman and injuring 10 others, according to emergency services. The attacker was shot and killed by security forces.

A witness told N12 News that soldiers fired at the assailant, who was reported to be a member of the Bedouin minority in Israel's Negev desert. The incident occurred as security forces remained on high alert ahead of the anniversary of Hamas' October 7 attack on Israel.

Police have classified the shooting as a terrorist attack but have not yet disclosed the identity of the gunman.
