JERUSALEM—Israeli security officials announced Wednesday the arrest of six young Israeli settlers from what it called a “Jewish terror” group suspected of carrying out attacks against Palestinians and their property last year, in what officials said was a victory in its campaign to reduce extremist Israeli attacks against Palestinians.
Also Wednesday, an Israeli hospital spokeswoman said a man who was critically wounded in a Jerusalem bus bombing this week has died. Later in the day, Gaza’s militant Hamas group said the attacker behind the bus bombing was a Hamas member, but stopped short of claiming responsibility for the attack.
