Police say three Palestinian terrorists carried out the attack near the az-Za’ayyem checkpoint, between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim.
The trio opened fire with “automatic weapons” at Israelis waiting in traffic while heading toward Jerusalem, a few hundred meters before the checkpoint.
Two of the gunmen were shot by security forces at the scene, while the third initially fled, before also being shot a short while later, following police searches in the area.
