At least five people have been killed in a shooting in Jerusalem, authorities have confirmed.
Footage showed dozens of people fleeing from a bus stop during the morning rush hour.
Paramedics who responded to the scene said the area was chaotic and covered in broken glass, with people wounded and lying unconscious on the road and a pavement near the bus stop.
Police said two attackers were “neutralised” soon after.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now holding an assessment with his heads of security.
At least 15 people were also injured – with six in a serious condition – after it appeared two attackers boarded a bus and opened fire as it reached a major intersection at the northern entrance to Jerusalem, on a road that leads to Jewish settlements in east Jerusalem.
Israeli Defense Force soldiers were dispatched and are searching the area for any other suspects. They are also searching several areas on the outskirts of Ramallah.
