JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue his country's war in Gaza, and in Jerusalem, following the deadly attack at a bus stop at Ramot Junction in Jerusalem on Monday.
Six people were killed and several wounded by two armed men who arrived at the bus stop in a car. Police later identified then as Muthanna Omar, 20, and Muhammad Taha, 21, from villages on the outskirts of Jerusalem in the occupied West Bank.
"We are now engaged in pursuit and are cordoning off the villages from which the murderers came. We will apprehend whoever aided and dispatched them, and we will take even stronger steps," the Israeli prime minister said at the scene of the attack.
"We are at war, an intense war against terrorism on several fronts."
"When I say that we are in an intense war on several fronts, we have had, of course, major successes against the terrorist regimes and terrorist organizations. However, the war is continuing – both in the Gaza Strip, where we will destroy Hamas as we have promised and release our hostages, all of our hostages, and – unfortunately – in Jerusalem as well," Mr Netanyahu said.
"In Judea and Samaria (israel's name for the West Bank), we have taken very strong action. The ISA, IDF and the Israel Police have thwarted hundreds of terrorist attacks this year but – unfortunately – not this morning."
"I would like to state as clearly as possible: These murders and attacks, in all sectors, will not weaken us. They will only increase our determination to complete the mission we have taken upon ourselves, in Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and everywhere," the Israeli prime minister said.
"We are fighting terrorism – the terrorist Houthi regime; in Iran, which backs them all; in Gaza in Lebanon; Hezbollah and in all sectors. We are not relenting, nor will we. We will intensify our operations, and we will achieve all of our objectives."
