The police said two attackers opened fire at a bus station in the outskirts of Jerusalem during the morning rush hour. The police said they received the initial reports at 07:40 local time (05:40 GMT).
"I was at home when I heard the shooting and immediately [went to] the scene. I saw a number of casualties on scene, some were lying and some were walking," said Moshe Hemed, a worker with Israel's emergency services.
The two suspects were later "neutralised by security forces and a nearby civilian", the police said.
Police have sealed off the scene of the attack.

The father of an American man held hostage in Gaza says Israel and Hamas should expand the category of those eligible for release.
Ronen Neutra said that while children should remain at the forefront, there was room to bring “elderly men, young men, soldiers” into the mix.
Neutra’s son Omer, 22, is a dual-national and a member of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) stationed in southern Israel.
He’d told his parents the night before the attack that he thought it would be a quiet weekend.
Instead, he was among the first troops to confront Hamas militants as they crossed the border into Israel from Gaza, his mother said. His tank was hit by rocket propelled grenades, and Hamas released video of his team being pulled out of it.
The CIA Director William Burns has been pushing for broadening the focus of hostage negotiations in this way, according to media reports.
The Neutras are visiting Washington DC with the parents of two other captive IDF soldiers - and the relatives of Avigail Idan, a four-year-old American child released this week.
They are meeting administration officials and testifying on Capitol Hill, pushing as hard as they can for the release of US hostages. A dual US-Israeli national was released tonight - Liat Atzili.
The Gaza truce was extended after Hamas gave Israel a new list of women and child hostages to be released "a short time ago", the Israel Hayom newspaper reported, quoting the Prime Minister's Office.
The newspaper added on X that Israel's war cabinet had "uninamously" decided on Wednesday night that fighting would "resume immediately" if Hamas did not deliver a new list.
Israel's announcement that the truce would be extended was made with minutes to go before it expired.
Mediating nation Qatar confirmed on Thursday that the truce would continue for another day.
"Palestinian and Israeli sides have reached an agreement to extend the humanitarian pause in the Gaza Strip for an additional day under the existing conditions, which are a cessation of all military activities and the entry of humanitarian aid to Gaza," Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Majed Al Ansari said in a statement.
Qatar was engaged in intense negotiations, with support from Egypt and the United States, to extend the truce in Gaza, which was due to end this morning.
Israel and Hamas agreed to the truce last Wednesday.
As of last night, 102 hostages have been freed, while 210 Palestinians prisoners have been released.
Hundreds of lorries of humanitarian aid, medical supplies and fuel have also been allowed into Gaza.

Hamas has said it has agreed to extend its truce with Israel for a seventh day, the Reuters news agency reported.
This comes after the Israel Defense Forces said the truce would continue, without specifying for how long.
Israel's military said a truce with Hamas will continue "in light of the mediators' efforts to continue the process of releasing hostages"
This will be subject to the terms of the agreement, it added.
A senior adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says those wanting to see an extension of the six-day truce must place pressure on Hamas.
Mark Regev tells the BBC that Israel is willing to continue the ceasefire “as long as Hamas continues to release hostages”.
“Pressure must be placed on Hamas. If they continue to release hostages, then the pause can continue,” he says.
Asked about violence in the occupied West Bank, after the Palestinian Authority said two children were killed by Israeli gunfire in Jenin, Regev says he did not have details of the alleged incident, but that Israeli forces have been “very energetically” tackling what he describes as terrorism there.
“We’ve been taking the fight to the terrorists, and we’ve been dealing with the threat,” he says. “Sometimes there are gunfights, sometimes people are killed.”

It's just gone 06:40 in Israel and Gaza and 12:40 in Singapore where we have taken over this live page from our colleagues in London. The fragile truce of the last six days is due to end within the hour and we have still not heard if it will be extended. Both Israel and Hamas have said they are ready to resume fighting but there is intense pressure on both to extend the ceasefire.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has arrived in Tel Aviv seeking a longer pause in hostilities. This is his third visit to the region in less than two months.
Here are some other key developments over the last few hours.

Local media reports suggest a bus carrying the newly freed Palestinian prisoners has been seen near Ramallah in the West Bank.
This has been the standard route over the last six days, since the truce between Israel and Hamas began.
Video shared by the Al-Arabiya TV channel shows a crowd of people surrounding the bus as it makes its way through the city of Beitunia, 3km (1.8 miles) west of Ramallah.
In the front window of the bus, you can see the logo of the Red Cross, which has been assisting with the freeing of both Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners.
Israel has released 30 more Palestinians, its prison service says, as part of a six-day truce between Israel and Hamas.
We're yet to hear details - names, genders, ages - of those freed.
There was no immediate confirmation from Hamas.
Earlier, another 10 Israeli hostages - and four Thai citizens - were freed by Hamas. You can find out more about them in some of our earlier posts.

Some more information on the freed Israeli hostages now.
Two of them are mothers with health degrees.
Raaya Rotem, 54, holds a degree in Chinese acupuncture and is described by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum as a dedicated mother to her teenage daughter Hila.
She was born in Kibbutz Be’eri where she was kidnapped on 7 October alongside Hila and Hila’s friend Emily Hand - both of whom have returned from Gaza in recent days.
Yarden Roman, 36, is a physiotherapist with a master's degree in gerontology. She volunteers in her free time as a caregiver for the elderly in the kibbutz.
She is a mother to a three-year-old girl, and is described by the forum as full of compassion and empathy.
On 7 October, Roman and her family were kidnapped from Kibbutz Be'eri and loaded into a van. They managed to escape, but were pursued by Hamas. Roman handed her daughter to her husband and the two of them fled while she was taken into Gaza.
