Authorities are investigating the possibility of engine failure causing the burning of a bus near the Samarian Jewish community of Kedumim.

There were no casualties in the incident, attributed until now to a firebomb. Chairman Yossi Dagan of the Samarian Regional Council, said: "We are waiting for the determination of the IDF and the security establishment. At the same time, we would like to stress that whether it's a Molotov cocktail or a technical malfunction, the ambulance that was sent was from the Magen David Adom station in Shavei Shomron, which is one of the MDA stations in Judea and Samaria that is threatened with closure due to a delusional argument about five million shekels."
