According to reports from the Times of Israel and Ynet on September 8 (local time), at around 10:13 a.m. that day, two assailants opened fire on citizens riding Bus No. 62 at a bus stop near the Ramot intersection in northern Jerusalem.

Six people were killed and at least ten others were injured in the incident. As many of the injured are in critical condition, the death toll may rise.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the scene shortly after the incident, offered condolences to the families of the victims, and wished for the recovery of the injured.
