A settler opened fire on Wednesday evening in the middle of the bazaar market in Old Jerusalem.

Eyewitnesses explained that the settler opened fire directly at one of the merchants, wounding him with serious injuries.

Magen David Ambulance said: Two people were injured: a 25-year-old young man, who was in serious condition, and a 50-year-old man, who was slightly injured, and they were transferred to Shaare Tedek Hospital.

The witnesses added that when the merchant's father went to check what was going on, he was attacked.

The occupation forces stormed the Bazaar market in large numbers and closed the area around the event.
