Six Killed Dozens Injured in Jerusalem Terror Shooting

On September 8, 2025, two Palestinian gunmen carried out a deadly shooting attack at a bus stop in Jerusalem's Ramot Junction, killing six people and injuring dozens more. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, visiting the scene shortly after, condemned the attack as part of an ongoing "mighty war against terror" on multiple fronts, pledging aggressive pursuit of the terrorists and their supporters. Netanyahu emphasized Israel's determination to continue its mission to eliminate Hamas, free hostages, and secure Israeli citizens, while Defense Minister Israel Katz warned of "severe and far-reaching consequences". The attackers hailed from villages southeast of Ramallah, which Israeli forces began encircling in response. The incident occurred amid ongoing hostilities in Gaza and reported U.S.-backed ceasefire negotiations involving hostage releases, with President Donald Trump warning Hamas of further consequences if it does not accept terms. Israeli officials and allies, including those visiting internationally, expressed solidarity and condemned the terror attack, underscoring the broader conflict's persistence and impact.
