Two attackers opened fire at a busy bus stop in Jerusalem, killing at least six people and injuring several others. Among the deceased were a man in his 50s and three men in their 30s. Some victims were reported in serious condition. The attackers arrived in a vehicle and were neutralized by security guards and civilians.
The incident is noted as the most deadly attack in Jerusalem in over two years, following a string of violence involving Hamas militants and other attacks. Although Hamas welcomed the shooting, they were not responsible for it.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed that the fight against terrorism continues, with ongoing tensions and warnings of potential escalations in the West Bank following plans for Palestinian statehood and possible annexation by Israel. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are conducting searches for suspects and increasing security measures in the area.
