Six Killed in Jerusalem Bus Stop Shooting as Israeli Forces Seal Off West Bank Areas

The attack coincided with Netanyahu’s warning for Gaza City residents to evacuate ahead of an expanded offensive.

Overview

  • The shooters, identified by Shin Bet as 20- and 21-year-old Palestinians from the West Bank, were killed at the scene by a soldier and an armed civilian.
  • At least six people were killed at Ramot Junction, including a Spanish citizen, and more than 20 were wounded during the morning rush hour, officials said.
  • Police recovered multiple firearms, ammunition and a knife, and arrested a suspect from East Jerusalem as investigators examine possible assistance to the gunmen.
  • The military said it encircled areas near Ramallah and ordered a closure of the gunmen’s home area while deploying troops to support searches and interrogations.
  • Hamas praised the shooting without claiming responsibility, as Netanyahu vowed to pursue accomplices and pressed Gaza City residents to leave during U.S.-mediated ceasefire talks.
