On September 8, a gun attack at a busy bus stop in Jerusalem claimed the lives of six individuals and injured others. Israeli police confirmed that two Palestinian gunmen opened fire in the morning rush hour and caused chaos before being shot dead at the scene by security forces. Patrols in the area have been increased with warnings of potential follow-up incidents.
The attack comes amidst the high tension levels in Israel and the Palestinian territories. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened retaliation, and the international community feared the violence would lead to more instability in the already volatile territory.
