Terror in Jerusalem: Seven Dead in Shooting Attack at Ramot Junction

On Monday, September 8, 2025, two terrorists opened fire at the Ramot Junction in Jerusalem, murdering seven people and wounding others before being neutralized by an armed IDF soldier on leave and a civilian yeshiva student. Witnesses described bursts of automatic fire targeted at a bus in traffic and a nearby hitchhiking stop, with shattered glass and chaos strewn across the roadway as medics rushed in to triage the wounded.

Authorities quickly sealed off access roads as large police and emergency teams converged on the scene. The attackers, believed to have come from a village near Ramallah, reportedly used a locally manufactured Carlo-type submachine gun produced in Judea and Samaria. In the hours after the assault, the IDF encircled neighboring villages and launched a broad search for potential accomplices while investigators worked to identify the shooters and reconstruct the attack timeline.

Hospitals received multiple victims in serious and moderate condition, while volunteers and first responders offered lifesaving care and comfort amid grief and shock. The city braced for additional security measures as families began to mourn loved ones lost in the sudden eruption of violence.
