A resident from Monsey that recently moved to Eretz Yisroel after getting married is among the injured in the shooting attack that happened outside the Kosel on Motze Shabbos.

The victim was lightly wounded under his arm, and was Baruch HaShem already released from the hospital after being treated for his injury.

The attack happened around 1:20am local time when a terrorist opened fire and started shootings at a bus that pulled over near the Kosel to drop off and pickup passengers.

Eight people were injured, with two of them reportedly in critical condition, including the father of a Williamsburg family whose name has been released for prayers, Yehoshua Tzvi Ben Surel, B’soch Sha’ar Cholei Yisroel.
