The attack in Jerusalem: 

Daniel Kanievsky, the bus driver, recounted the moments of the attack that happened tonight (between Saturday and Sunday) on "Kan 11": "I stopped the bus at the station. The bus was full, they lowered the ramp, the bus was simply blown up. They lowered the ramp for a person in a wheelchair and then the shooting started."

I tried to escape with the bus but because of the ramp I couldn't close the door and therefore I couldn't drive.

Someone lifted the ramp and I set off, maybe 50 meters," he concluded.

During the night, at least seven people were injured in the shooting incident near David's Tomb in the Old City of Jerusalem.

The security forces are searching for the terrorist

According to the reports, three people were seriously injured by the shooting, with four others moderately and lightly injured.

According to a report by the Magen David Adom organization, the shooting took place in two separate arenas near David's Tomb and the Western Wall.

Many police forces arrived at the scene and began closing the scene, investigating the case and searching for the suspect who fled.
