Five people have been killed and seven seriously wounded in a shooting attack by Palestinian gunmen in Jerusalem, paramedics and police say.
Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance service identified the dead as three men in their 30s, one woman in her 50s, and one man in his 50s. Nine people with gunshot wounds were taken to local hospitals along with three others injured by broken glass.
Israeli police stated that two terrorists opened fire towards a bus stop at Ramot Junction, located on the city's northern outskirts. A security officer and a civilian returned fire, resulting in the neutralization of the attackers.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility from any armed groups, though Hamas praised the attack.
The police noted that a large number of officers were deployed to secure the area, with bomb disposal units ensuring safety as forensic teams gathered evidence.
