A shooting incident in Jerusalem has left at least four individuals dead and fifteen others injured, six of whom are in serious condition, when attackers opened fire on a bus at a prominent intersection.

Paramedics described the scene at the northern entrance to Jerusalem as chaotic, with glass strewn across the vicinity and casualties lying on the streets. The perpetrators were reportedly neutralized shortly after launching the assault, though further details about their status remain undisclosed.

The attack highlights the ongoing surge of violence between Israelis and Palestinians, traced back to the current conflict in Gaza. This wave of violence has seen renewed attacks, including a previous mass shooting in Tel Aviv in October 2024, culminating in multiple fatalities.
