JERUSALEM (AP) — Paramedics said at least five people were killed in a shooting attack in Jerusalem after attackers opened fire at a bus stop at a busy intersection in north Jerusalem. It was the country’s deadliest shooting attack in nearly a year. Paramedics said at least 12 other people were injured in the Monday morning attack, with six in serious condition. Police said a security officer and civilian who were at the scene shot and killed the two attackers soon after the attack began. The war in Gaza has sparked a surge of violence in both the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Israel. Palestinian militants have attacked and killed Israelis in Israel and the West Bank, while there has also been a rise in settler violence against Palestinians.
