Three people were murdered and six people were seriously and moderately injured in a shooting attack at the entrance to Jerusalem on Thursday morning. One of the fatalities was a 24-year-old woman, a second was a man in his 70s, and the third was a woman in her 60s. Two terrorists opened fire, one with an automatic weapon and one with a pistol, toward passersby on Rechov Weizmann. Both terrorists were neutralized by two off-duty soldiers and a civilian who were nearby. One of the soldiers was on the way back to his post in the Gaza Strip after a 12-hour leave. The police said later that the terrorists arrived in the area by car and opened fire at people waiting at a bus stop. Cartridges with hundreds of bullets were found in the terrorists’ vehicle. The 24-year-old, H’yd, was pronounced dead at the scene. Eight victims were evacuated to Shaare Tzedek and Hadassah Ein Kerem hospitals, five in serious condition, one in moderate condition, and two in light condition. The deaths of two victims were pronounced at the hospital. The Shin Bet later said that the terrorists were affiliated with Hamas and previously served time in prison for terror-related activities. They were identified as Muard al-Namr, 38, and his brother Ibrahim al-Namr, 30. Muard is a released prisoner who spent 10 years in an Israeli prison for terrorist acts he committed under the direction of terror elements in the Gaza Strip. The Shin Bet is investigating whether the attack was directed by Gaza-based Hamas leaders.
