NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday strongly condemned the heinous terrorist attack on civilians in Israel. PM Modi said that India "condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations".
"Strongly condemn the heinous terrorist attack on innocent civilians in Jerusalem today. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and wish a speedy recovery to those injured. India condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and stands firm in its policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism," PM Modi wrote on X.
At least six people were killed and 12 others wounded after gunmen opened fire on a bus at a busy intersection in north Jerusalem on Monday. The shooting took place at a major intersection at the northern entrance to Jerusalem, on a road that leads to Jewish settlements located in east Jerusalem.
The attackers shot people waiting at a bus stop, said the police, while Israeli media reported the attackers also boarded a crowded bus and opened fire inside.
Footage from the scene showed commuters fleeing during the morning rush hour as gunfire erupted near a bus stop. Paramedics described chaos, shattered glass, and multiple victims lying unconscious on the road and sidewalk.
Israel police reported that two 'terrorists' were 'neutralised' shortly after the assault, though they did not clarify their condition.
Hundreds of Israeli security personnel rushed to the area to search for additional attackers or explosives. The military said it has encircled Palestinian villages near Ramallah in the West Bank as part of stepped-up security measures following the attack.
Hamas hailed the assault as a 'natural response to the occupation’s crimes,' though it stopped short of claiming direct responsibility.
