Emergency services are responding to a shooting attack along Weizman Boulevard in Jerusalem the morning of Nov. 30. The incident reportedly wounded seven people. Israel Police confirmed they had shot and killed the two suspected assailants.
Heightened security and business and transport disruptions are likely in the affected area in the coming hours at investigations continue. Tensions remain high in Israel, and further attacks are possible.

On Oct. 7, Hamas, the Gaza-based militant group, launched a surprise land, sea, and air assault against Israel. Since then, the IDF and Hamas have been engaged in cross-border fighting. The risk of conflict-related militant attacks in Israel, particularly in Jerusalem, has increased. Communal violence, as well as conflict-related demonstrations, are likely throughout Israel and Palestinian Territories.
