Israeli media reported today, Monday, that five people were killed and 14 others injured in a shooting incident at the Ramot settlement junction near Jerusalem. This occurred at a time when the Israeli army is conducting an infiltration operation into the Qalandia camp north of East Jerusalem.
Israeli media stated that the shooting resulted in the deaths of five people and injuries to 14 others, including seven in critical condition. First aid was provided to many of the wounded at the scene. They added that the perpetrators of the shooting, who are around 20 years old, came from the West Bank and are believed to originate from one of the villages of Ramallah.
