Five people were killed and at least 12 others wounded, including seven in serious condition, when gunmen opened fire in Jerusalem on Sept. 8, according to Israel’s ambulance service.
Police described the shooters as “terrorists” and confirmed that they were killed, although the motive and number of assailants have not yet been clarified. Paramedics said a man in his 50s and three men in their 30s were pronounced dead at the scene, while a woman evacuated in critical condition to Shaare Zedek Medical Center was later declared dead.
