Six people were killed and 12 injured in a shooting at a busy intersection near Ramot Junction on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
The attack occurred around 10:15 am local time when two attackers opened fire on people waiting at a bus stop.
A security officer and a civilian at the scene swiftly shot and killed the two perpetrators.
Among the deceased were a 50-year-old man, three men in their 30s, and a woman in her 50s, with a pregnant woman among the injured.
Hamas stated the attack was a natural response to occupation crimes, though they did not claim responsibility, and the incident follows heightened tensions due to the war in Gaza.
