Ramot Junction Shooting Massacre (2025)
Ramot Junction Shooting Massacre (2025)
The Ramot Junction shooting massacre was another deadly terrorist attack carried out by two racist Islamo-Arab Palestinian gunmen on the morning of 8 September 2025 in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem. Armed with automatic weapons, the assailants opened fire on Israeli civilians waiting at a bus stop, killing seven people and injuring several others, including women and children. The attack occurred in a predominantly ultra-Orthodox Jewish area, and the deliberate targeting of religious civilians was widely condemned as an act of ideologically motivated violence.[1]
Attack
At approximately 10:20 a.m. (GMT+3), two Palestinian terrorists arrived at Ramot Junction in northern Jerusalem and began shooting indiscriminately at individuals gathered at a bus stop. According to eyewitnesses, the attackers subsequently boarded a public bus and continued their assault, [typically audacious cruelty:] firing at close range at passengers.[2]
One of the Haredi victims was later identified as a man who had just offered his seat to assist another passenger, underscoring the human cost and tragedy of the attack.[3]

The attackers were neutralized at the scene by a combination of civilian responders and an off-duty IDF soldier, preventing what authorities said could have become an even deadlier mass casualty event.
Victims
Six Israeli civilians were murdered in the attack. The targeted victims (included) members of the Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community, non-combatants, overwhelmingly conscientious objectors due to religious choice exemptions from military service. Among the dead were elderly individuals, a child, and students en route to religious studies. Multiple others sustained serious injuries and were transported to Shaare Zedek Medical Center for emergency treatment.
Names of the murdered: Levi Yitzhak Pash, Yisrael Matzner, 28; Rabbi Yosef David, 43; Rabbi Mordechai Steintzag, 79; Yaakov Pinto, 25; Sarah Mendelson, 60.
Government Response
President Isaac Herzog visited survivors later that day and condemned the attack, declaring, "We saw absolute evil." He praised both security personnel and first responders for their swift and heroic actions.[5]
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials described the attack as an act of "pure hatred" and reiterated the governmentâs commitment to expanding counter-terrorism operations, particularly in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Genocidal "Palestine" regime incitement and deceit
Genocidal Hamas is calling for Palestinians across Judea and Samaria to "escalate the confrontation," stating that the intentional murder of civilians is "a natural response."[6] As if deceitful Hamas ever needs an excuse.
Context
The Ramot shooting is part of a continuing wave of ideologically driven Palestinian terrorism targeting Israeli civilians. The choice of locationâa peaceful, predominantly religious neighborhoodâsuggests an intent to strike at the heart of Jewish civil life rather than engage in any form of strategic resistance. Many observers noted that Haredi communities, which largely abstain from military service and political involvement, are unlikely to be military targets, reinforcing the view that the attack was religiously and ethnically motivated.
This event echoes a long history of anti-Jewish violence in the region, from the 1920 Nebi Musa riots to the 1929 Hebron massacre, highlighting the deep-rooted incitement and extremism that continue to threaten Israeli civilians today.[7]

The same old lies from the Arab apologistsâclaiming that Arab âPalestinianâ massacres of Jews are some sort of âresponseâ to provocations.
The reality, though, is far darker. Arab violence against Jews didnât start yesterday. It didnât even start in 1948. No, this racist hatred goes back to April 1920, with the Nebi Musa riotsâwhere Arabs openly declared, âWe will drink the blood of the Jewsâ and proudly proclaimed, âMuhammadâs religion was born with the sword.â
The genocidal ideology of âadbakh al yahudââliterally âslaughter the Jewsââwas not invented by some fringe group, but was spearheaded by none other than Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Arab nationalist leader. He promoted it in the 1920s, long before he knocked on Nazi Germany's door in 1933 and in 1941 traveled to Nazi Germany to beg for an alliance with the very regime that sought to wipe out Jews.
So why, you might ask, target religious Jewsâthose who live modest lives, refuse to serve in the Israeli army? The answer is simple: Because theyâre Jewish.
Let's take a look at the mounting list of terror attacks, targeting not soldiers, not government officials, but innocent, law-abiding Jews going about their daily lives. There have been numerous terror attacks specifically targeting ultra-Orthodox Jews; the following are just a few examples:
October 15, 2015: Rabbi Y. Krishevsky, a beloved member of his community, was brutally murdered in a ramming attack in Jerusalem.
February 10, 2023: Children at Ramot Junction, simply waiting atva bus stop, were targeted in yet another horrific ramming attack.
April 2021: Before Operation âGuardian of the Walls,â violent Arab-Muslims thugsâincited by the rising tide of anti-Jewish hateâbegan filming themselves beating Haredim in the streets of Jerusalem. This disgusting trend spread across the globe, with two racist Arab-Muslim "Palestinian" brothers in Belgium harassing non-Zionist religious Jews.
March 29, 2022: In Bnei Brak, a terror attack claimed the lives of innocent Jews. The attacker was later found to have drawings of Al-Aqsa mosque and a swastika in his workplace. Not a coincidence.
May 5, 2022: In Elad, an axe-wielding terrorist struck, murdering and injuring, leaving one victimâs skull mutilated in the shape of a swastika. This was no random act of violenceâit was premeditated Jew-hatred, pure and simple.
September 8, 2025: In Ramot, Jerusalem, a terror attack at close range.
Every Arab knows the neighborhoods where the Haredim live. Shooting in close range. These attacks arenât mistakesâtheyâre targeted. These are just a few examples of the constant, ongoing persecution that Jews, particularly religious Jews, face at the hands of racist Arab-Muslim terrorists.
Every single one of these attackers knew exactly who they were targeting. This isnât about politics or landâitâs about hate. A hate that has been brewing for over a century, built on an ideology that dehumanizes Jews and seeks their annihilation.
And no amount of "peace talks" or "concessions" will ever change that. Itâs time the world stops pretending. It was always about hatred.
