据Shaaeri Tzedek医院称，周四上午，耶路撒冷一个公交车站发生枪击事件，造成四人死亡。
死亡人数最初为三人。周四晚上报道了第四例死亡。
这起致命事件发生在当地时间早上7点40分左右，当时两名全副武装的袭击者开车来到公交车站，下车并向平民开火。据以色列警方称，两名枪手被两名休班的以色列士兵和一名在现场附近的平民打死。
以色列警方确认这两名嫌疑人是来自东耶路撒冷苏尔贝克社区的30多岁的兄弟。以色列警方和以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡都称枪手为“恐怖分子”

哈马斯声称对这起致命枪击事件负责，并在一份声明中表示，此次袭击是对以色列“前所未有的罪行”的回应，包括在加沙的“残酷屠杀”和在被占领的约旦河西岸杀害儿童。
布林肯:加沙北部的死亡和破坏不能在加沙南部重演
周四在以色列举行的新闻发布会上，国务卿安东尼·布林肯重申，“以色列有权尽一切努力确保哈马斯在10月7日实施的屠杀永远不会重演。”
“哈马斯不能继续控制加沙，”布林肯说，但他重申以色列有义务尽量减少加沙地带的平民伤亡。
他说，他告诉以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡和内塔尼亚胡的战争内阁，当务之急是“我们在加沙北部看到的大规模平民死亡和流离失所不会在[加沙南部]重演。”

Israel-Gaza live updates: 8 Israeli hostages released on Thursday
The cease-fire between Hamas and Israel has been extended again for another 24 hours, officials announced early Thursday.
Hamas has freed over 100 of the more than 200 people its militants took hostage during the Oct. 7 surprise attack on Israel. In exchange, Israel has released more than 200 Palestinians from Israeli prisons.
What we know about the conflict
The latest outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, which has been paused to allow for a prisoner exchange and the delivery of humanitarian aid, is nowapproaching two months.
In the Gaza Strip, more than 15,000 people have been killed and over 36,000 have been wounded by Israeli forces since Oct. 7, according to the Hamas Government Media Office.
In Israel, at least 1,200 people have been killed and 6,900 others have been injured by Hamas and other Palestinian militants since Oct. 7, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
There has also been a surge in violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Israeli forces have killed at least 241 Palestinians in the territory since Oct. 7, according to Palestinian health authorities.
Newly-released Israeli hostages to reunite with families at hospitals
The six Israeli hostages released Thursday night as part of the deal between Israel and Hamas are on their way to hospitals, according to the Israel Defense Forces. They will be reunited with family members at that time, the IDF said in a release early Friday morning local time.
"The 6 released hostages are currently on their way from the Hatzerim Base to hospitals, where they will reunite with their families," the IDF said in the release.
The cease-fire between Israel and Hamas was extended Thursday for one day in part due to mediators, who brokered another day. No update was provided about what will happen on Friday.
14-year-old survivor of Oct. 7 attack speaks out
A 14-year-old survivor of the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack described how she hid in a safe room in her kibbutz for hours in an interview with ABC News' Kayna Whitworth on Thursday.
"The fear of what might happen -- that was the most terrifying part," Eli Shani Kozin said on ABC News Live.
While she hid, hearing gunfire and knocks at their door, Eli said she would see messages on WhatsApp from other children sharing what happened to them, such as seeing their houses set on fire.
"I kind of accepted death. I felt like, there's no way I'm going to get out of here safely," said Eli, whose father was killed and cousin kidnapped on Oct. 7.
Death toll rises to 4 in shooting at Jerusalem bus stop
Four people have died from a shooting at a Jerusalem bus stop Thursday morning, according to the Shaaeri Tzedek hospital.
The death toll initially stood at three. The fourth death was reported Thursday night.
The deadly incident unfolded around 7:40 a.m. local time when a pair of heavily armed assailants drove up to the bus stop, got out of their vehicle and opened fire on civilians. Both gunmen were killed by two off-duty Israeli soldiers and a civilian who were near the scene, according to Israeli police.
Israeli police identified the two suspects as brothers in their 30s from the Sur Baker neighborhood of East Jerusalem. Both Israeli police and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the gunmen as "terrorists."
"The quick reaction of two fighters and a civilian who eliminated the terrorists prevented an even more serious attack. I salute them," Netanyahuwrote in a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. "The government headed by me will continue expanding the distribution of weapons to citizens. This is a measure that proves itself time and time again in the war against murderous terrorism."
Hamas claimed responsibility for the deadly shooting, saying in a statement that the attack was in response to Israel's "unprecedented crimes" including "brutal massacres" in Gaza and the killing of children in the occupied West Bank.
Blinken: Death, destruction in northern Gaza cannot be repeated in southern Gaza
At a news conference in Israel on Thursday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken reiterated that "Israel has the right to do everything it can to ensure that the slaughter Hamas carried out on Oct. 7 can never be repeated."
"Hamas cannot remain in control of Gaza," Blinken said, but he reiterated Israel’s obligation to minimize civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip.
He said he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Netanyahu's war cabinet that it's imperative that "the massive loss of civilian life and displacement of the scale that we saw in northern Gaza not be repeated in [southern Gaza]."
"We made clear the imperative that before any operations go forward in southern Gaza, that there'd be a clear plan in place that puts a premium on protecting civilians, as well as sustaining and building on the humanitarian assistance that's getting into Gaza," Blinken said. "And the Israeli government agrees with that approach.”
