Three Israeli children were wounded on Saturday when gunmen opened fire on a car in the southern Israeli port city of Eilat, Israeli police has said.
It did not mention, however, any background about the attack.
Police spokesperson Luba Samri said the three children were in the company of their father inside the car at the time of the attack.
She described the wounds of the three children as averaging between "light" and "moderate."
She said they were taken to hospital for treatment, noting that two men riding a motor bicycle opened fire on the car.
The motor bicycle, Samri said, was then found near a cemetery, but it was burned.
She added that police opened investigation into the attack, noting that criminal motivations were likely behind it.
An Israeli bus, meanwhile, caught fire when Molotov cocktails were thrown on it on the way to Jerusalem.
No human casualties were reported from the vehicle burning.
Samri said the bus carried travellers on the way to Jerusalem.
A Palestinian man was killed by Israeli gunfire in Al-Khalil earlier on Saturday after he stabbed an Israeli soldier, according to Samri.
A Palestinian teenager was killed by Israeli gunfire earlier.
Recent months have seen an uptick in violence inIsrael and the occupied Palestinian territories, which has led to deaths and injuries on both sides.
Several Israelis have been killed or injured amid increasingly frequent Palestinian attacks.
Israeli forces, meanwhile, continued to carry out raids on West Bank villages, frequently rounding up groups of young Palestinian men on claims they are "wanted" by Israeli authorities.
Israeli troops also typically use force to disperse weekly Palestinian demonstrations against the self-proclaimed Jewish state's decades-long occupation, which occasionally leads to fatalities among protesters.
Palestinians, meanwhile, decry frequent attacks by extremist Jewish settlers on their communities and property in the occupied territories.
