It seems that there are least 20 people injured and at least six of them in serious condition after Israeli police say two alleged gunmen opened fire in an area in the northern part of west Jerusalem, right outside an illegal settlement and have been “neutralised”. Israel often uses the term “neutralise” and what they mean is they have arrested or killed the shooters involved, and they don’t really give more information until they have completed an investigation. These are pretty main roads in west Jerusalem and police are also saying they have blocked off every single road that leads to the area. Israeli police say that roads that have been closed lead to Ramot and parts of west Jerusalem and illegal settlements in the area will remain blocked off. There is a lot of traffic there and that’s because those cars have nowhere to go. The ambulance service say they are still looking in the area for people who might be injured.
