An Israeli civilian bus set off a roadside bomb south of Bethlehem on Sunday night, according to the Israeli military.

There were no injuries reported in the unusual late-night attack, but the bus was damaged in the blast, according to an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson.

The blast occurred shortly before midnight as the bus, operated by Afikim, went by the Palestinian village of Marah Rabah, located 7.5 miles south of Bethlehem.

The bomb had been placed on the road in advance, according to the military, which launched a search for the perpetrators.

Hours earlier, one Israeli was lightly wounded in a car-ramming attack outside the city of Ariel in Samaria.
