It was not known who fired on the bus as it traveled along Route 10 near Har Sagi; however, it was the latest in a series of sporadic clashes along the Israel-Egypt border.

Haaretz said two unarmed men were shot last week as they apparently tried to sneak into Israel. An Israeli man working on a fence along the border was killed in an apparent terrorist bombing last month.
