Five people were killed in a shooting at Ramot Junction in Jerusalem, and another five were evacuated in serious condition with gunshot wounds. Several others sustained light injuries from broken glass and were treated at the scene by Magen David Adom. Israeli police described the incident as a suspected terror attack and neutralized two attackers soon after the shooting began. Police closed access routes and large forces were deployed to the area. Multiple people were injured, according to medical sources. Police now suspect the perpetrators were Palestinians from the occupied West Bank. Witnesses reported two gunmen boarded a bus, one appearing dressed as a ticket inspector, and opened fire near the Ramot settlement, which lies across the Green Line and is considered illegal under international law.
