Immanuel (Israeli settlement)
Immanuel is an Israeli settlement with 3,309 inhabitants (as of 2016) in the West Bank , which was founded in 1983. The place was named after the symbolic, biblical name of a son in Isaiah 7:14. Since 1985 the place has also been the administrative seat of the municipal administration of the same name (מועצה מקומית עמנואל). The place is about 45 kilometers northwest of the Old City of Jerusalem , about 35 kilometers northeast of the city of Tel Aviv and about seven kilometers northwest of the city of Ariel .
In a Palestinian attack on a bus on December 12, 2001, 11 Israelis were killed and around 30 injured. The Israeli bus was stopped on its way to Immanuel by two bomb explosions, which, according to police, killed four occupants. Then at least one Palestinian shot at the bus and other vehicles, killing six other Israelis before he could be shot himself. Another person died on March 25, 2002 from her injuries.
