While an attack in Jerusalem left three dead earlier in the day, a second attack took place, this time in the West Bank. The ramming car injured two people, the attacker was “neutralized” according to the Israeli army.
The pause came into effect on November 24 after more than seven weeks of devastating Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip carried out in retaliation for an unprecedented October 7 attack launched by Hamas on Israeli soil from Palestinian territory. Adding to the volatility of the situation, three people were killed Thursday in an attack on a bus stop in West Jerusalem carried out by two Palestinians affiliated with Hamas who were shot dead, according to police. Hamas claims responsibility for deadly attack in Jerusalem, calls for “escalation”.
Two Israeli soldiers were lightly injured in a car-ramming attack on a checkpoint in the West Bank.
