Three people were killed and 13 injured after two brothers from East Jerusalem shot at people waiting at a bus stop on a main road towards the western edge of the city in the rush hour, local police and medics reported.

The gunmen were named by the Shin Bet security agency as Murad Namr, 38, and Ibrahim Namr, 30, and described by the intelligence service as members of Hamas. Both were killed on the scene by off-duty soldiers and an armed civilian.

Later on Thursday, Hamas’s armed wing, al-Qassam Brigades, claimed responsibility for the attack. The statement posted on the group’s Telegram channel said the operation was in response “to the occupation’s crimes of killing children and women in Gaza”.

Surveillance video footage of the bus stop showed two men getting out of a car at about 7.40am local time, brandishing guns, prompting people to flee in terror before they retreated to the vehicle, where police said they were killed.

Those killed were a 24 year old woman, named in media reports as Livia Dickmann, a woman in her sixties, Hanna Ifergan, and a 72-year old man Elimelech Wasserman, a rabbinical judge. An initial report that a 16 year old girl was killed was incorrect.

Israeli police said the initial investigation indicated the attackers arrived by car and were “armed with an M16 rifle and a handgun”. They began shooting at civilians before subsequently being killed at the scene. A search of the car “revealed ammunition and weaponry”, the force added.

Shin Bet said the gunmen had been previously jailed for terror activity. The elder brother, Murad, spent 10 years in jail to 2020 for planning terror attacks, under direction from Gaza, while Ibrahim had been jailed in 2014.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s security minister and leader of the far-right Otzma Yehudit party, visited the scene and said the attack at the bus stop showed that the country needed to respond to Hamas militarily.

“This type of incident proves again how much we can’t show weakness, how much we have to speak to Hamas only through intentions, only through the war,” he said, according to the Times of Israel. Ben-Gvir has previously called for an end to the current truce.

He said the attack showed that Israeli civilians should carry guns on the street. “Despite the criticism of all kinds of parties, I will continue this policy of handing out weapons everywhere,” he added.

Two hospitals received eight people in the aftermath of the attack, with five described in media reports as having serious injuries.
