Deadly Jerusalem Bus Station Attack Kills Six, Triggers West Bank Lockdown
Six people were killed and at least 20 injured in a brutal shooting attack at a bus station at Jerusalem’s Ramot Junction on Monday, September 8, 2025. Israeli police confirmed that two attackers, who opened fire on people waiting at a bus depot before boarding a bus, were shot dead at the scene by an off-duty soldier and civilians.
The incident has prompted a swift and aggressive response from Israeli authorities. Detectives from the Jerusalem District Central Investigations Unit, operating under the guidance of the ISA, have arrested one suspect from eastern Jerusalem whose involvement in the attack is currently under investigation.
In the wake of the attack, Israeli Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir announced a full lockdown in parts of the West Bank. Visiting the scene, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, “We are at war, a fierce war against terrorism on several fronts.” He vowed to pursue and apprehend all those involved in the attack, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to achieving its security goals against what he described as a “terrorist regime.”
