Following a deadly incident on a major access route into Jerusalem, authorities confirmed the death of a 24-year-old woman and reported that eight additional people sustained injuries, five of them severe, during a violent incident at one of the city’s entry points. Emergency responders from Magen David Adom (MDA) indicated that the wounded were transported to Shaare Tzedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospitals in Jerusalem for urgent care, with medical teams working to stabilize those in critical condition and provide treatment for pain, bleeding, and shock, as updates continued to arrive from the scene.
Law enforcement officials verified that the attack involved multiple victims along a road feeding into the interior of Jerusalem, near a bus and train terminal. They noted that two suspects were neutralized at the scene, later confirmed to have died as a result of the confrontation. A police spokesperson described the event as the result of an armed vehicle arriving at the location and being engaged by security forces and a nearby civilian, who intervened to protect others at risk. The precise details of the assailants’ identities and affiliations remained under review as investigators gathered physical evidence and reviewed surveillance footage to reconstruct the sequence of events.
In a briefing, police representatives stated that there were numerous casualties, including fatalities and serious injuries, and that a preliminary inquiry had been launched under the command of the Jerusalem commissioner. The operation to secure the area involved sealing off the surrounding streets, coordinating with emergency services, and deploying investigators to catalog sights, sounds, and trajectories tied to the attack. Earlier, MDA had issued a notification identifying the time of the shooting as 7:38 local time (5:38 GMT) on Weizmann Boulevard in Jerusalem, with responders continuing to work at the scene to stabilize patients and prevent further harm as the investigation progressed.
The attack unfolded at a moment of heightened tension in the region, occurring amid broader events in the West Bank and Jerusalem connected to ongoing violence and security operations. The incident comes on the heels of a fragile ceasefire arrangement in the Gaza context, which was extended for a seventh day in parallel developments that day, underscoring the fragile security climate in the area and the fear that ordinary commutes could be disrupted by sudden violence. Officials stressed the importance of maintaining public safety, while communities faced temporary disruptions as investigators and emergency teams carried out their duties and residents sought information through official channels about road closures and safety advisories.
