Six people were wounded, two seriously, on Tuesday afternoon in a shooting terror attack near a mall in the city of Maale Adumim, located just east of Jerusalem.

The terrorist, apparently armed with an M-16 rifle, opened fire on passersby before being shot and killed by an off-duty Border Police officer at the scene.

Magen David Adom emergency services said medics treated the wounded and evacuated them to Jerusalem hospitals. All the victims were rmale between the ages of 14 and 40.

Police arrived at the scene and began combing the area to search for possible terrorist accomplices.

The Prime Minister’s Office said that Benjamin Netanyahu Netanyahu is receiving constant updates on the attack together with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

“Yet again, another terrorist shooting attack, and Israeli citizens were wounded. The State of Israel must not accept and get used to this reality. We’re not talking about isolated shootings, rather a terrorist  infrastructure that aims to harm all citizens of the State of Israel. We once again demand that the security establishment and the government put the safety of our residents as their top priority,” Shlomo Ne’eman, Gush Etzion Regional Council Mayor and Chairman of the Yesha Council, said in a statement..

“The immediate response is to deal with the terrorists with a heavy hand, return the checkpoints, and continue the operation to collect weapons until the PA’s stockpile of weapons is emptied.

“We heap praise on the off-duty border policeman who quickly eliminated the terrorist, and prevented even greater carnage, and saved many lives. We thank him while praying for a speedy recovery to those wounded,” he concluded.
