A gunman killed at least seven people and wounded 10 others in a synagogue on the outskirts of Jerusalem on Friday (January 27) in an attack that heightened fears of a spiral in violence, a day after the deadliest Israeli raid in the West Bank in years.
Police said the gunman arrived at around 8.15 p.m. and opened fire, hitting a number of people before he was killed by police.
TV footage showed several victims lying in the road outside the synagogue being tended to by emergency workers.
The attack, which police described as a "terrorist incident", underlined fears of an escalation in violence after months of clashes in the West Bank culminating in a raid on Thursday (January 26) that killed at least nine Palestinians.
