On 30 November 2023, two Palestinian gunmen killed three and wounded 16 Israeli civilians[1] at a bus stop on the Givat Shaul Interchange in Jerusalem during the ceasefire of the Israel–Hamas war. A fourth individual, Yuval Castleman (an armed bystander who shot at the gunmen), was shot and killed by responding IDF soldiers who mistook him for one of the attackers. Hamas claimed responsibility for the shooting.[1][2]
