An assailant shot and wounded two people in east Jerusalem on Saturday, Israeli medics said, hours after a Palestinian gunman killed seven outside a synagogue in one of the deadliest such attacks in years.
JERUSALEM, Undefined —
The bloodshed, which unfolded on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, marked another dramatic escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Several Arab nations that have ties with Israel– including Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates — condemned the synagogue shooting. “The Jerusalem District Police and border police fighters arrested 42 suspects — some of them from the terrorist’s family, relatives and ”, a police statement said.
Israel annexed east Jerusalem following the 1967 Six-Day War. Palestinians claim the area as the capital of their future state. Most of the rockets were intercepted by Israeli air defences. The military responded with strikes on Hamas targets in Gaza.After the synagogue shooting, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said the attack proved “the resistance knows how to find the appropriate response” to Israeli “crimes”.
