Three gunmen attacked a checkpoint near Jerusalem, Israeli police have said according to AFP, wounding several people before the attackers were “neutralised”.

Four people suffered gunshot wounds, including one who was critically injured, said the emergency medical service Magen David Adom in a statement, with another two people lightly wounded.

All those injured were members of security services, according to police.
