Police said the attackers shot at commuters during rush hour before being killed by an Israeli soldier and a civilian.

Paramedics confirmed two of the wounded later died in the hospital, while six remain in serious condition. Police personnel and vehicles were at the scene of the attack as a helicopter flew overhead, images released by Israeli police showed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the scene, saying Israel was “fighting a mighty war on all fronts.” The military deployed forces near Ramallah in the West Bank following the attack.
