Two gunmen opened fire at a Jerusalem bus stop on Monday, killing six people and critically injuring seven others, emergency services said.

Police said the shooters, who had been “neutralized,” attacked at a bus stop, while some Israeli media reported they also boarded a crowded bus and opened fire inside.

Benjamin Netanyahu's office said the Israeli Prime Minister was conducting a "situation assessment" with the heads of his security establishment.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said it was a "painful and difficult" morning, adding that his "heart goes out to the bereaved families."

Hamas hailed the attack, which happened at an important intersection at the northern entrance to the city on a road that leads to Jewish settlements in east Jerusalem, as "heroic" but did not claim responsibility.
