Hamas is claiming responsibility Friday for an attack on a bus near an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, which has left at least eight injured, reports say.

"We are following what is happening in the West Bank in terms of serious violations of the occupation," Hamas spokesperson Ghazi Hamad told Newsweek.

As a ceasefire the U.S. helped broker between Israel and the Iran-backed group Hezbollah came into effect Wednesday, President Biden said his administration would quickly launch "another push" with international partners to secure a deal to end the even deadlier war in the Gaza Strip.
