Tensions in Jerusalem have intensified over the past year, with a ramp-up in deadly attacks targeting Israelis as well as Israeli military raids killing Palestinian militants and civilians in the occupied West Bank. But Wednesday’s incident marks the first return to bomb attacks against Israeli citizens in years.

Outgoing Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said Wednesday the attackers would not get away with the bombings.

“They can run, they can hide — it won’t help them,” he said in a statement. “We will punish them to the fullest extent of the law.”

The White House, which has previously called for a two-state solution to the long running Israel-Palestine conflict, on Wednesday reiterated its support of Israel and its commitment to the U.S.-Israeli relationship.

“The United States stands with the Government and people of Israel,” Jean-Pierre said. “As President Biden emphasized during his visit to Israel in July, our commitment to Israel’s security is ironclad and unbreakable.”
