A terror attack in Jerusalem Thursday morning killed at least three Israelis waiting at a bus stop and wounded eleven more.
This from survivethenews.com.
The two gunmen, reported to be Israeli Arabs, were shot and killed by an off-duty soldier who had just returned from fighting Hamas in Gaza.
The dead terrorists have been identified by the Israeli government as two brothers who were members of Hamas and had previously been jailed on terrorism charges. The attack came after an extension was announced of the ceasefire for hostages for another day by Israel and Hamas as the sides negotiated another round of hostage and prisoner swaps.
The victims were a 24-year-old woman killed at the scene and two who died at a hospital—a 60-year-old woman and a 70-year-old man—reported YNetNews.
There are reports an armed citizen and another off-duty soldier also engaged the terrorists.
The terrorists pulled up to the bus stop in a car and exited, then opened fire. After shooting at the Israelis at the bus stop for several seconds, the two terrorists tried to return to their car when they were confronted and killed by the off-duty Israeli soldier. Other Israelis can also be seen responding with the off-duty soldier then frantically identifying [themselves] to avoid friendly fire.
Two videos have been released. The sound of gunfire can be heard in one video. In the other the attack can be seen from beginning to end.

Hamas claimed responsibility shortly afterwards, describing the attack as:
[A] natural response to unprecedented crimes conducted by the Occupation [Israel].
…including the Israeli military operation in Gaza and the alleged mistreatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
The Israeli government posted video with the sounds of the attack, at least two dozen shots can be heard:

According to the Shin Bet:
[T]he two Palestinian terrorists who carried out the shooting attack at the entrance to Jerusalem are Hamas members, previously jailed for terror activity. They are named as brothers Murad Namr, 38, and Ibrahim Namr, 30. Murad was jailed between 2010 and 2020 for planning terror attacks under directions of terror elements in the Gaza Strip. Ibrahim was jailed in 2014 for undisclosed terror activity.

The off-duty soldier who killed the terrorist who shot and killed 3 people in Jerusalem today had returned home from Gaza last night, and was waiting at the bus stop where the attack took place for a ride back to southern Israel. He was injured in his hand. https://t.co/5GK15zdCqf

The perpetrators of the Jerusalem operation: the two martyrs, the brothers Murad Nimr (38 years old) and Ibrahim Nimr (30 years old), from the village of Sur Baher in Jerusalem, who were liberated prisoners. It is noteworthy that the martyr Murad Nimr spent 10 years in the occupation prisons on charges of planning to carry out operations within a cell of the Qassam Brigades. pic.twitter.com/FcJkt0SLqr

One of the murdered in the attack in Jerusalem: Dayan at the Ashdod court, Rabbi Elimelech Wasserman, about 70 years old. May his memory be blessed.
Final thoughts: Despite “a ceasefire” and the hostages still awaiting release, Hamas seems to be striving for the ultimate Israeli response. But will the world ever be rid of Hamas mimickers?
