Israel is still reeling from a recent spike in violence, including a stabbing attack killing 1 and a mass shooting just last week. Now, another tragic mass shooting has taken place in East Jerusalem, this time on a bus.

According to Israeli police, two "terrorists" boarded a bus in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Issawiya and opened fire. The suspects were "neutralised" by police, though it is not specified if they were killed or apprehended.

The attack has caused 5 fatalities and 11 injured, with some sources citing the injured count as higher. Among the wounded, there are reported to be at least 4 seriously injured victims.

The shooting is a devastating blow to a country currently oscillating between hopes of a political resolution and acts of extreme violence. The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has vowed to increase security for Jewish residents of the area.

Many of the victims of this shooting are said to be Israeli Arabs, a group that has long suffered from discrimination and marginalization.

As the situation develops, one thing is clear: the atmosphere in Israel is becoming more hostile, and civilians are paying the price.
