— At least six people were killed and more than a dozen injured in a shooting attack at Ramot Junction, a busy bus stop in northern Jerusalem, on Monday morning.
According to Israel’s emergency service Magen David Adom, four victims died instantly, while two others succumbed to injuries in hospital. “We treated multiple critically wounded at the scene. This was a mass-casualty incident,” MDA paramedics said in a statement.
Police confirmed that two Palestinian gunmen opened fire with automatic rifles on commuters waiting for buses. The attackers were shot dead by an Israeli soldier and an armed civilian within minutes. Weapons and ammunition were recovered at the scene.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who visited shortly after, said Israel was “at war on multiple fronts” and vowed tougher action. “We will pursue those who sent the terrorists, and we will strike them with a heavy hand,” he told reporters.
International condemnation was swift. The European Union and United Arab Emirates, India denounced the killings, calling for restraint, while Hamas praised the attack as a “heroic operation,” though it stopped short of claiming responsibility.
The attack comes amid heightened tensions in the region, where clashes have surged in recent months.
