PALESTINIAN attackers opened fire on people at a bus stop during the morning rush hour in Jerusalem yesterday, killing six people and wounding another 12, according to Israeli officials.

An Israeli soldier and civilians who were at the scene shot and killed the two attackers, said Israeli police, who later arrested a third person in connection with the shooting.

Film footage of the attack showed dozens of people fleeing from the bus stop at a busy intersection. The windshield of a bus was riddled with bullet holes, and belongings were scattered across the street.

Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza has sparked a surge of violence in both the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Israel.
