At least two people were shot and wounded in a shooting attack near East Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood, police and medics said Saturday morning.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said its medics were treating two people on Ma’alot Ir David Street in the capital, close to the Old City.
A 23-year-old man was in serious condition and a 47-year-old man was defined as moderate to serious.
Both suffered gunshot wounds to their upper bodies.
Police said the attacker was “neutralized” without giving further details on his condition.
Gunfire could be heard in footage shared on social media.
