A deadly shooting at Jerusalem’s Ramot Junction on Monday morning has left six people dead and at least a dozen others injured, according to Israeli authorities. The attack began around 10:13 a.m. local time, when two gunmen opened fire on people waiting at a bus stop and at a bus that had just arrived.

Emergency service Magen David Adom reported that four victims — three men in their 30s and a man in his 50s — were pronounced dead at the scene, while two others later succumbed to their injuries in hospital. Among the wounded are several in critical condition, including a pregnant woman.

Police say the attackers, identified as residents of the West Bank, were armed with improvised “Carlo” submachine guns. They were shot and killed by an off-duty soldier and armed civilians who were at the scene.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the site, vowing to “pursue and encircle” the villages from which the attackers came, and reaffirming Israel’s ongoing fight against terrorism. Hamas praised the attack but did not claim responsibility.

The incident marks one of the deadliest shootings in Jerusalem in recent years, adding to a surge in violence amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the West Bank.
