“Palestinian terrorists murdered six Israelis,” Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said, adding that one of the dead was a recent immigrant from Spain.

Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) had earlier reported 15 people wounded in the late morning attack at the Ramot Junction in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, with seven in serious condition. Police said the two gunmen were also killed.

Four of the dead were ultra-Orthodox Israeli men, according to local media.

Spain’s foreign ministry condemned the attack, affirming its “commitment to peace in the Middle East.”
