Palestinian attackers opened fire on people at a bus stop at during the morning rush hour in Jerusalem on Monday, killing six people and wounding another 12, according to Israeli officials.

An Israeli soldier and civilians who were at the scene shot and killed the two attackers, said police, who later arrested a third person in connection with the shooting. Footage of the attack showed dozens of people fleeing from the bus stop at a busy intersection. The windshield of a bus was riddled with bullet holes and belongings were scattered across the street.

The war in Gaza has sparked a surge of violence in both the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Israel. Palestinian militants have attacked and killed Israelis in Israel and the West Bank, while there has also been a rise in settler violence against Palestinians. Monday’s shooting -- at a major intersection, with a road leading to Jewish settlements in east Jerusalem -- was the deadliest in Israel since October 2024.

Paramedics who responded to the chaotic scene said broken glass covered the area, and people wounded lay unconscious on the road and a sidewalk near the bus stop. Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saar identified the attackers as Palestinian.
