Police say officers have raided the home of the two Hamas terrorists who carried out the deadly terror shooting attack at the entrance to Jerusalem this morning.

The attack was carried out by Murad Nemer, 38, and Ibrahim Nemer, 30, from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sur Baher.

Police say six family members have been detained for questioning, including their parents.

They will be questioned by police and the Shin Bet for their suspected involvement or knowledge of the attack, which killed three people.
