Bodies lie in the streets of Jerusalem after synagogue 'terror' attack where a Palestinian killed seven before he was shot dead

 Bodies lie in the streets of Jerusalem after synagogue 'terror' attack: Netanyahu visits site of gun rampage where Palestinian killed seven before he was shot dead by Israeli police as regional tensions mount

  • Deadly shooting took place in East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Neve Yaakov
  • It came just one day after an Israeli army raid in the West Bank on Thursday 
  • A Palestinian gunman killed at least seven people and wounded three others in a synagogue on the outskirts of Jerusalem on Friday 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 an Israeli raid in Jenin on Thursday that killed at least nine Palestinians.
