The website of this newspaper also announced that the first accident resulted in serious injuries to two bus passengers, two men in their thirties, and the driver was helping a disabled woman using the elevator to get on the bus. The second shooting took place a few meters away from the first scene and at the entrance of the King David Cemetery parking lot, in which 4 men and a woman were injured.
Al-Arabiya reported that 9 Israelis were injured, at least 2 of whom are in critical condition.
He added: “The Israeli police summoned helicopters to search for the perpetrators of the attack.”
Immediately after this attack, large Israeli police forces were deployed in various places around Jerusalem.
And Israeli media reported that “the police carried out an offensive operation in the Silwan neighborhood in East Jerusalem.”
Last week, the Zionist army started a preventive operation in the Gaza Strip against the Islamic Jihad movement, which responded by firing a bunch of rockets towards Israel.
As a result of this military escalation, which continued until the implementation of the ceasefire supported by Egypt, at least 49 Palestinians, including jihadist fighters and children, were killed.
