Jerusalem attack denounced by Argentina, victim identified as Argentine national

In the heart of Jerusalem, a tragic incident unfolded near a bus stop north of the city. The attack took place a few minutes after 10 AM local time, close to two Jewish settlements.

Two Palestinians opened fire at the bus stop, but the nature of the attack is not specified in the official statement. The incident resulted in the death of Sara Mariela Voloj de Mendelson, a 57-year-old Argentine woman who had lived in Israel since childhood. The statement does not provide any details about the identity or motivations of the attackers.

The attack did not result in any known casualties among the bystanders or the soldiers and armed civilians who intervened. The attackers were shot dead by a soldier and two armed civilians.

The Jewish colonies near the site of the attack are inhabited by ultra-Orthodox Jews. The location of the attack is not specified as being within the boundaries of a Jewish colony.

In response to the attack, the Israeli Ministry has reaffirmed its firm commitment against all forms of intolerance and discrimination. Meanwhile, Argentina's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reiterated its absolute refusal and condemnation of terrorism and violence. Eliahu Hamra, the rabbi of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA), identified the Argentine victim.

The statement does not provide any information on the status or condition of the bus or bus passengers involved in the attack. Nor does it specify any potential response or action by the Israeli government in response to the attack. The search results do not provide specific information about the two attackers involved in the incident. No further details about the victims or perpetrators were provided in the statement.

It is important to note that the statement does not mention any connection between the attack in Jerusalem and the legislative elections in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The attack occurred in an area that is occupied by Israel, but the statement does not specify the exact location of the attack.

As the investigation continues, the community in Jerusalem and beyond are left to mourn the loss of Sara Mariela Voloj de Mendelson, a life tragically cut short by senseless violence.
