At exactly 10:13, two Palestinian young men arrived at an intersection in the "Ramot" settlement neighborhood northwest of Jerusalem and carried out a shooting attack targeting two public buses operating on lines "62 and 320," while they were stuck in a severe traffic jam that extended for hundreds of meters due to a traffic accident that occurred earlier today on "Begin Road." The attack resulted in the death of 7 Israelis, including a rabbi, and injured 17 others, while the attackers, Muthna Amro and Muhammad Taha, who hail from the villages of "Qubeiba" and "Qatna" northwest of Jerusalem, were martyred. They hold Palestinian West Bank (green) IDs and do not possess "entry permits to Israel" according to the Israeli police.
Immediately after the attack, a large number of occupation police and special forces rushed to seal off the area, and the military checkpoints leading to Jerusalem were immediately closed, with pedestrian movement prohibited at the Qalandiya military checkpoint north of the city, and the closure was not limited to vehicular traffic only.
The Israeli army radio announced that the army is imposing a military cordon on 4 villages in the northwest Jerusalem area following the shooting attack, including Qubeiba and Qatna, which are among 7 Jerusalem villages that were detached from the city as they lie outside the boundaries of the "Jerusalem Municipality" drawn by the occupation, and now fall behind the separation wall, with their residents prohibited from accessing the holy city except with permits that the occupation refuses to issue.
We will pursue everyone who contributed to carrying out this operation and will take stricter measures.
