"Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a crowded bus stop in the northern outskirts of Jerusalem on Monday, killing six people and injuring 12 others before being shot dead by an off-duty soldier and a civilian at the scene. The victims included a 79-year-old former cardiologist, a 43-year-old rabbi and a 25-year-old who had recently emigrated from Spain. Twenty-six others suffered injuries, including six who were left in a serious condition with gunshot wounds."
"The Israeli foreign minister, Gideon Saar, later said the attackers were Palestinians from the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Speaking while on a visit to Hungary, he described a terrible terror attack, adding: We are in a war with radical Islamist terrorism. Europe and the international community, every country, must now make a clear choice. Are they on Israel's side, or are they on the side of the jihadists?"
"Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, visited the site of the attack in Jerusalem with his far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir. The war continues, in Jerusalem as well, Netanyahu said. He later repeated calls for people in Gaza City to leave ahead of an upcoming ground operation by Israeli forces. You have been warned get out of there, he said."

Israeli officials identified the attackers as Palestinians from the occupied West Bank and described the event as a terror attack linked to radical Islamist terrorism. Top Israeli leaders visited the scene, warned of further military action, urged Gaza City residents to evacuate, and ordered closures around villages near Ramallah while promising continued operational and intelligence efforts.
