At least six people were killed and several others injured in a shooting attack in east Jerusalem on Monday. The Israel emergency service said that “terrorists” involved in the attack were neutralised.
The incident took place in Ramot Junction on Yigal Yadin Street in the morning.
The terrorists had boarded a bus and opened fire on the passengers. The shooting was carried out by two gunmen, Times of Israel reported citing preliminary reports.
Footage of the incident shows several people fleeing from a bus stop at an intersection near the northern entrance to Jerusalem. The attack came hours after Israeli defence minister Israel Katz issued an ultimatum to Hamas, asking them to drop arms and surrender, warning that they would be “annihilated” if they fail to do so.
