More on the horrifying Jerusalem attack.

On Monday, in East Jerusalem, at least six people were killed and several others were injured in a shooting attack. The Israeli emergency service said that “terrorists” involved in the attack were neutralised. The incident happened in Ramot Junction on YigalYadin Street. The terrorists had boarded a bus and opened fire on the passengers. The shooting was carried out by two gunmen, as reported by Times of Israel, citing preliminary reports.

Footage from the incident showed several people fleeing from a bus stop at an intersection near the northern entrance to Jerusalem. The attack took place hours after Israel Katz, the Israeli defence minister, issued an ultimatum to Hamas, asking them to drop arms and surrender and warning they would be “annihilated” if they fail to do so.
