The United Nations calls on all parties to exercise restraint in the worst attack in Jerusalem in recent years

2023-01-28

"This is one of the most serious attacks in recent years". On the evening of January 27 local time, a shooting occurred at a religious site in Jerusalem, killing at least 8 people, including the attackers, and injuring many others. "One of the most serious attacks in recent years" occurred at about 8:15 p.m. local time on the 27th. "The terrorists shot at everyone he met. He got out of the car and started killing with a pistol," the police said. A barber living nearby told AFP that after hearing the gunfire, he "went down to help people". "I saw the terrorist driving his car. He stopped in the middle of the intersection and shot from his car." The medical staff announced that five victims died on the spot, and the other two victims were declared dead in the hospital in Jerusalem. The injured included a 15-year-old boy in a serious condition. The 21-year-old East Jerusalem resident carried out the attack alone. The Israel Times said that after getting off the bus, he shot at the police, tried to escape on foot, and then was killed. He had no previous criminal acts related to terrorist activities. Palestinian media said that the gunman's father had been summoned by the police for questioning. Doron Turgman, the head of the police in Jerusalem, said that the attack was "one of the most serious attacks in recent years" and the police would continue to search the adjacent areas. After the United Nations called on all parties to exercise restraint in the attack, the Israeli Prime Minister rushed to the scene of the attack and urged people not to carry out retaliatory attacks. This attack is "one of the most serious attacks we have known for many years". Netanyahu said, "Our heart is with these families... We must act firmly and calmly. I call on people not to take action without authorization." He said, "We have decided to take several emergency measures, which will be implemented from tonight." However, he did not specify which measures are specific. Since 2023, the tension between Palestine and Israel has intensified, and the Israeli army has clashed with Palestinians and caused casualties in many areas of the West Bank and Jerusalem. The day before the attack, Israeli forces clashed with Palestinians in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, killing nine Palestinians. This is the most deadly conflict in the West Bank in recent years, which has triggered strong reactions from various political factions in Pakistan. The spokesman of the United Nations Secretary-General Dugaric said in a comment that the United Nations Secretary-General Guterres condemned the terrorist attack in Jerusalem and called on all parties to exercise maximum restraint.
