An Israeli gunman dressed as a soldier has been lynched by a mob after killing at least three people and wounded four on a bus in an Israeli Arab town.

According to Israeli media, he opened fire after an argument with passengers as they travelled between the Galilee town of Shfaram and the city of Haifa.

Police evacuated the bus after the shooting and tried to protect the man but he was stoned by the crowd.

Israeli security sources described the incident as a "Jewish terror attack".

Some of the injured passengers are reported to be in a critical condition.

According to police, the gunman was dressed in an Israeli uniform and eyewitnesses quoted on Israeli television described him as bearded and wearing a Jewish skull cap.

The gunman was an Israeli army deserter with links to right-wing extremists, said security sources quoted by Israel's Haaretz newspaper.

"It seems like Jewish terror against Arabs," police spokesman Avi Zelba told Reuters news agency.
