Baby delivered by emergency cesarean section - perpetrator turns himself into the security authorities.

At least eight people were injured, among them U.S. citizens, in a suspected terrorist attack near the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

One of the seriously injured victims is said to be a pregnant woman in her 30s. According to Israeli media reports, she was hit in the stomach. Her baby was born with an emergency cesarean section. According to the reports, the baby is in critical condition but stable.

The shots were fired in two places, said the Magen David Adom rescue service on Sunday night on Twitter.

A bus in the old town and a parking lot near David's grave have become targets.

According to a paramedic, believers from the Western Wall were on their way into the city on the bus.

Bus driver Daniel Kanievski told the Israeli broadcaster Kan: "The door was opened for a wheelchair – then the shots were fired. Two people were injured on the bus and two outside."

An eyewitness told the broadcaster: "It lasted 10 to 15 seconds. He fired about ten bullets. There was nobody who could neutralize him."

"According to a passerby, a terrorist started shooting at the bus indiscriminately," the paramedic was quoted as saying by the Jerusalem Post. When the emergency services reached the scene of the incident, there was a great commotion. People had panicked.

Israeli Prime Minister Jair Lapid said after the crime: "The security forces are working to arrest the terrorist and will not rest until he is caught." Anyone who harms civilians will pay the price.

Meanwhile, the Jerusalem Post, citing police sources, reports that the Palestinian perpetrator surrendered early Sunday morning.

The Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem is a Jewish holy site and attracts many believers.

A Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas spokesman, which rules the Gaza Strip, called the attack a "natural reaction to the arrogance of the occupying soldiers and Zionist settlers and their daily crimes against our people, our country, and our Islamic and Christian holy sites." He spoke of Israel's continued incursion into Al-Aqsa Mosque.

About a week ago, Israel eliminated high-ranking terrorists in the Gaza Strip. In revenge, supporters of the group "Islamic Jihad" fired more than 1,000 rockets in the direction of Israel within a few days. The Iron Dome defense system intercepted most. A ceasefire was finally sealed last Monday.

In the spring, there was also a wave of terror in Israel. A total of 19 civilians were killed in the attacks. Three of the terrorists were killed.
