Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a bus stop in north Jerusalem on Monday, killing six people and wounding several others, including a pregnant woman, according to officials. The attack targeted a location on a road that leads to East Jerusalem.
Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) said five people were killed in the shooting attack, but Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, speaking later during a visit to Hungary, said six people were killed and that a pregnant woman was among those wounded.
Police said two gunmen were also killed. The MDA said earlier that seven people were left in serious condition, but it was unclear if that number had changed as the death toll climbed from an initial four to the six announced by Saar.
The dead included a man "about 50 years old and three men aged around 30," according to the statement from the MDA, which added that it was providing medical treatment to several of those injured.
