Six people were killed and 12 injured in a shooting attack at the Ramot Junction bus stop in Jerusalem, reports said.

Of the injured, seven victims listed in serious condition have been taken to hospitals.

The two assailants have been “neutralised,” news agencies reported officials as saying.

Reports said the Palestinian gunmen opened fire on people waiting at the bus stop.

The shooting took place at a major intersection at the northern entrance to Jerusalem, on a road that leads to Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem.

‘Mighty war’
