Two Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a bus stop on the outskirts of Jerusalem, killing six people in what police described as "a terrorist attack," one of the deadliest in the city in the past few years.

Footage from a dashboard camera at the scene showed people fleeing from the vicinity of a bus stopped by the side of a road as shots rang out. Another video showed a bus's windscreen and windows pierced with bullet holes.

"Suddenly I hear the shots starting ... I felt like I was running for an eternity," Ester Lugasi, who was injured in the attack, told Israeli TV from hospital. "I thought I was going to die."

The ambulance service identified the five of the victims as a 50-year-old man, a woman in her fifties and three men in their thirties. It said 11 other people had suffered injuries, including six who were in a serious condition with gunshot wounds.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said later a sixth person had died and that the gunmen were Palestinians.

Palestinian terrorist group Hamas praised two Palestinian "resistance fighters" who it said had carried out the attack but it stopped short of claiming responsibility. Islamic Jihad, another Palestinian militant group, also praised the shooting.

Speaking at the scene of the attack, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces were pursuing suspects who aided them.

Israeli police said two attackers arrived by car and opened fire at a bus stop at Ramot Junction. Several weapons, ammunition and a knife used by the attackers were recovered at the scene, police said.

"A security officer and a civilian at the scene responded immediately, returned fire, and neutralised the attackers," they said in a statement.

Reuters footage showed a heavy police presence in the Ramot area following the shooting. The ambulance service said a paramedic arriving at the scene reported that several victims were lying on the road and the sidewalk, some unconscious.

In November 2023, two Palestinian gunmen killed three people at a Jerusalem bus stop. Israeli security services said that the attackers in the 2023 Jerusalem shooting were linked to Hamas.

The shooting was one of the deadliest incidents of its kind since the war in Gaza began after Hamas's October 2023 attack on Israel.

The Hamas attack resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.

Two brave Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a bus stop on the outskirts of Jerusalem, killing six people in what I described as "a revenge attack.

Botragelad:
You mean killing random Israelis is brave?
So, are you saying it would be considered brave if Israel wiped out everyone in Gaza? Would that also count as a ‘revenge attack’?

All Israel settlers are criminals. They should go back to US/Europe

Botragelad:
The so-called Palestinians have once again carried out another act of terror. Yet the moment Israel responds to defend its people, the world suddenly cries “genocide” and rushes to paint them as the victims.

Enough is enough. By the way: Judea and Samaria are important partof Eretz Yisrael, and it’s time to stand firm, annex them fully, remove the terrorists(from Jerusalem too), and secure the future. If not, these cowardly attacks from them will only keep coming.

madridguy:
You have been commiting genocide in Gaza for decades ago so nothing knew you are going to do.

Helinuse:
Relax bros,

The response is on the way.

One thing I never doubt is that: Israel’s response is never equal !

🤣🤣🤣

The followers of islam believe those they hate are not worthy of a right to life. Muhammadu Buhari rose to lead a whole country with that mentality.
Today, many in Nigeria will rejoice over the 6 Israelis killed, while they will berate Israel for killing their "heroes."
