Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a bus stop in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem on Monday, September 8, killing six people and wounding several others, according to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar. "Palestinian terrorists murdered six Israelis," Saar said, adding that one of the dead was a recent immigrant from Spain. Police said the two gunmen were also killed. Four of the dead were ultra-Orthodox Israeli men, according to local media outlets.
The dead included a man "about 50 years old and three men aged around 30," a statement from the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) said, adding it was providing medical treatment to several of the injured. MDA also said seven other people were in serious condition. The late morning attack took place at the Ramot Junction on Yigal Street and left about 15 people wounded, an earlier statement by MDA said.
"Let it be clear: these murders strengthen our determination to fight terrorism," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters at the scene of the attack. "We are now engaged in pursuit and are cordoning off the villages from which the murderers came. We will apprehend whoever aided and dispatched them, and we will take even stronger steps," he added.
