An armed attack on a synagogue in occupied East Jerusalem this Friday left seven people dead and three others seriously injured by a bullet, Magen David Adom emergency services reported.

“Seven declared dead at the scene, three victims transported to Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital, including a 70-year-old in critical condition, a 20-year-old in serious condition and a 14-year-old in moderate to severe condition,” it said.

‘The terrorist who fired was neutralized on the spot’, for its part, the Israeli police have said. The incident took place in the Neve Yaakov neighborhood of East Jerusalem, where a large police force has been deployed, the same source said.

the Islamist movement Hamaswhich de facto rules the Gaza Strip has celebrated the attack over the loudspeakers of the mosques, but without taking credit for it.

Gunshots have also been heard in the air in the coastal enclave, as countless motorists honked their horns and shouted, “God is great.”

Israeli police have described the attack as “terrorist”, a term usually used in Israel for any attack perpetrated by Palestinians for nationalistic reasons, although the identity of the attacker has not yet been revealed.

This attack takes place in the middle of a escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This Friday, Israel shelled the Gaza Strip in retaliation for launching several rockets from the coastal enclave, a day after ten Palestinians in the occupied West Bank were killed by Israeli forces, nine of them in a military raid on the refugee camp. .
