KARACHI: At least eight people — including two attackers — were kil­l­ed after a deadly shooting attack in occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli authorities said, as the occupied West Bank braced itself for a possible reprisal.

Al Jazeera quoted paramedics as saying that at least 12 people were inju­red and six were in “serious condition” after the shooting on Monday morning at Ramot Junction.

Israeli police described the shooting as a suspec­ted “terror attack”, Al Jaz­e­era reported, adding that a security officer and an armed civilian shot and killed the perpetrators soon after the shooting began.

The police said the perpetrators arrived in a vehicle and opened fire at a bus station.
