At least six people died and several others were injured after two suspected Palestinian terrorists opened fire on vehicles and pedestrians in Jerusalem’s Ramot Junction, media reports said.

The two gunmen, residents of the West Bank, arrived at the junction shortly after 10 a.m. — according to some reports, by car — and opened fire at people waiting at a bus stop as well at a bus that had just stopped there, reported The Times of Israel.

Police told the newspaper that a soldier and several civilians, who were present at the spot, shot dead the gunmen.

Sharing details about the attack, Israel's Magen David Adom ambulance said in a Facebook post: "Today (Monday) at 10:13, Magen David Adom’s (MDA) 101 dispatch center received calls reporting two terrorists who opened fire at people near a bus stop at Ramot Junction on Yigal Yadin Street in Jerusalem. Large MDA forces, including ambulances, mobile intensive care units (MICUs), and medicycle first responders, were immediately dispatched to the scene."

MDA paramedics pronounced four males deceased at the scene, including a man in his 50s and three men in their 30s. 

"The death of a woman in her 50s, who was evacuated in critical condition, was confirmed at Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Also at the scene were the bodies of the two terrorists who were neutralized," MDA said.

According to media reports, no group has claimed responsibility for the incident so far but Hamas has praised the attackers.

Speaking to the media, Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu said: "We are in a fierce war against terrorism on several fronts: in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and Lebanon and in Iran, which backs everyone."

Promising to catch all those involved in the crime, he said: "We are now in pursuit and encirclement of the murderers from this morning. We will catch everyone who helped them."
