Five people have died and at least 10 left wounded after three Israeli buses were shot at, it has been reported.
The initial shots, reportedly from the Egyptian side of the border, were fired at a bus travelling 20km from Eilat, in southern Israel.
Seven casualties were treated by Magen David Adom medics and taken to Yoseftal Hospital in Eilat. Five of the wounded were suffering from gunshot wounds and their condition was declared moderate.
An IDF spokesman confirmed that five soldiers were among those injured in the attack. The terrorists fled the scene and are still being pursued by IDF forces.
