Palestinian terrorists originating from Judea and Samaria (renamed the "West Bank" by Jordan in 1950) opened fire on an Israeli bus in Jerusalem on Monday, leaving at least six dead.
The attack began when the terrorists boarded the Line 62 bus and began shooting passengers with "Carlo" machine guns, rudimentary weapons that take little expertise to manufacture. Dozens were hit in the process. Multiple videos showed people running for their lives.

Amid the chaos, an armed Orthodox man rushed to the bus and began to engage the terrorists. It's not known whether he was the one to actually neutralize them (pictures of them dead on the sidewalk exist), but there's no doubt that his heroic actions saved lives by putting the killers on the defensive and stopping their advance.
In released security camera footage, you can see him taking cover behind the bus and eventually entering a side door, returning fire. You can see another civilian running up to assist as well.

Hamas immediately praised the attack while its propaganda arms claimed "20 soldiers" were killed or wounded. As of now, four of the six confirmed dead have been identified. Two were rabbis. None were soldiers, not that it would have somehow made this terrorist attack any less evil and depraved.
Hamas media is celebrating as well.

They’re calling the victims “soldiers,” even though they were just civilians.
Not that it would lessen the evil of this attack—but it’s yet another example of how these demons constantly twist the narrative. https://t.co/TzAboUnZau pic.twitter.com/xRMMXXu5tS
Astonishingly, in the aftermath, French President Emmanuel Macron chimed in to offer his "condolences" while shamelessly spewing Palestinian propaganda.

I extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims and to the entire Israeli people.
The spiral of violence must come to an end. Only a political solution will bring back peace…
For one, there is no "East Jerusalem." There is only an eastern part of Jerusalem. The phrase "East Jerusalem" originated in 1948 during an era of partition. The entire city now resides in Israeli control and is united. Calling it "East Jerusalem" is a nod to Palestinian terrorist claims of ownership. Further, this shooting did not even happen in the eastern part of Jerusalem. It happened in the northwest area of Ramot.
This was also not a "spiral of violence." That would suggest Palestinians haven't been carrying out suicide attacks on civilians for decades prior to the current war in Gaza. Lastly, to then call for a "political solution" with savages who clearly have no intention of peace is just grotesque. It is Macron who has been pushing to recognize a "Palestinian state." Well, this is what a "Palestinian state" looks like. These weren't even Hamas members. They came from the area ruled by the Palestinian Authority, which itself is nothing but yet another terrorist government.
Notably, this attack came just hours before UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to meet with PA Leader Mahmoud Abbas to promote the "recognition of a Palestinian state." There is no limit to the idiocy and cowardice of Western European leaders.
