On Monday, the Israel Police issued a police prosecutor declaration, a preparatory step before an indictment, against a man who aided the perpetrators of the Ramot terrorist attack in which six people were killed, they announced on Tuesday.
On the morning of Monday, September 8, two Palestinians in their 20s from the West Bank arrived at the busy Ramot junction in Jerusalem by car. Many passersby were waiting at the bus stop of one of the city’s busiest intersections.
The two then got on the No. 62 bus line and began shooting passengers. They were apprehended by a soldier who was on site, along with civilians who took charge and killed the terrorists. The men were from El-Kubeiba and Katanna, towns near Ramallah.

Beyond the six people who were killed, 21 more were wounded, as the entire area sustained heavy damage. The victims were Rabbi Mordechai Steinsteg, Yaakov Pinto, Sarah Mendelson, Yosef David, Rabbi Levi Yitzhak Pash, and Israel Mentzer.
The police said on Tuesday that evidence suggests the suspect aided the terrorists directly and that an indictment from the prosecution is expected within the next few days.
“Anyone who aids terror, even if they were not the ones to physically pull the trigger, carries direct and equal responsibility for the consequences,” they said.
