At least six people, including a Spanish national, were killed and 21 others injured when two gunmen opened fire at a crowded bus stop in Jerusalem’s Ramot Junction during Monday morning rush hour.

The assailants, identified by Israeli authorities as Palestinians in their early twenties from villages near Ramallah, were shot dead at the scene by a security officer and an armed civilian, local media reports suggested.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the “heinous terrorist attack on innocent civilians” in a post on X, extending condolences to the victims’ families and wishing a “speedy recovery to those injured.” He reiterated that India stands by its “policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism”.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
