The terrorists who carried out the deadly terror shooting attack at the Ramot Junction in Jerusalem used a makeshift “Carlo” submachine gun, otherwise known as a Carl Gustav, according to images from the scene.

The improvised gun is commonly manufactured at illegal workshops in the West Bank, and has been used in numerous Palestinian attacks in the past.

Both gunmen were shot and “neutralized” at the scene. Their identities and conditions are not immediately known.
