At least five people have died and 11 have been injured in a shooting carried out on Monday in two attackers who were “neutralized” at the scene, according to the Israeli police and the MDA emergency service (Magen David Adom, the equivalent of the local Red Cross). At least five of these injured are in critical condition.
According to the Israeli local press, the two alleged aggressors have opened fire against a bus, from line 62, in one of the most important ringms of the city, to the northwest, in the Ramot area. A uniformed man who was in the vehicle was the first to respond. Face -to -face witnesses said that one of the aggressors apparently went up to the bus to perpetrate the attack, the newspaper indicates .
The first shooting report was received at 10:13 in the morning on the emergency line 101 of Magen David Adom, in the Jerusalem zone. The victims were evacuated to the Shaare Zedek and Hadssah hospitals, and blood supplies from the Central Blood Bank of Ramla were sent to meet the urgent needs.
The newspaper He maintains that all the entrance and exit points of Jerusalem have been closed in the area, in order to locate some possible attacker who has managed to escape, an end that is not clear at this time.
The last firearms in Jerusalem occurred almost two years ago, about six weeks after the outbreak of war. Armed men opened fire in a bus stop at the crossing of Givat Shaul, killing Rabbi Realelech Wasserman, 73, to Chana Ifergan, 67, already Livia Dickman, 24. The attackers, residents of the South Baher neighborhood, in East Jerusalem, used an M-16 rifle and a gun. Yuval Doron Kestelman, who tried to neutralize the attackers, was killed by error by soldiers, as in the case of today.
