According to the hospital's statement, their condition stabilized during the night, and their lives are no longer in danger.

The condition of the premature baby is also improving and it is clear that there has been stabilization.

Earlier this week, eight people were injured in a shooting attack on a bus near the Old City of Jerusalem.

The MDA team that arrived at the scene provided medical treatment to the injured, including a pregnant woman in her 30s who had an emergency delivery, and a man in his 60s. After hours of hunting, the terrorist turned himself in to the security forces, and he was interrogated by the Shin Bet and the police Jerusalem District.

The attack took place in two arenas, adjacent to each other.

The first is on Maale HaShalom Street, where the bus was traveling.

During the trip, the driver stopped to help a passenger in a wheelchair get on the bus.

At that moment, the terrorist emerged and took advantage of the open doors to shoot at the bus passengers.

The scene of the second attack was on Ma'ale Street, near the entrance to the parking lot of the Tomb of King David, where the terrorist fired at a private vehicle.

"There was a lot of chaos, we remember a lot of panic and screaming," said Roy and Naftali, who were traveling on the bus at the time of the attack.

"We both got on at the Western Wall station and sat down in the back seat. Suddenly the bus stopped abruptly. We noticed that the driver opened the doors and helped a passenger in a wheelchair get on. At that point the terrorist arrived and started shooting at the bus."
