A violent incident in Jerusalem resulted in the deaths of at least five individuals and injuries to twelve others when gunmen opened fire on a bus. The attack occurred at a bustling intersection in northern Jerusalem on Monday. The road where the shooting took place leads to Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem.

Footage from the scene showed commuters fleeing as gunfire erupted near a bus stop. Paramedics described the scene as chaotic, with broken glass and numerous unconscious victims scattered on the road and sidewalk. One woman and four men were confirmed dead. Preliminary reports suggest that at least two gunmen were involved in the attack. Magen David Adom reported receiving information about approximately fifteen injuries resulting from gunfire at the Ramot Junction on Yigal Yadin Street in Jerusalem. The shooting transpired shortly after Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz issued an ultimatum to Hamas, demanding they surrender their weapons. Katz warned of Hamas’s potential annihilation if they did not comply. Videos captured the chaos, with people running from a bus stop during rush hour. First responders described a scene of disarray. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir were present at the site. Hamas praised the attack as “heroic,” but did not claim responsibility.

In the past 24 hours, six people in Gaza died from famine and malnutrition, bringing the total deaths from malnutrition in Gaza to 393, including 140 children.
