Shooting comes hours after seven people killed outside synagogue and two days after deadliest Israeli raid in West Bank for 20 years
Two Israelis have been shot in occupied East Jerusalem hours after a gunman killed seven people outside a synagogue, as the worst violence in years across Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories continues to spiral.
Israel’s ambulance service said the two casualties were badly hurt in the incident near the Old City on Saturday morning. A police spokesperson told Israel’s Army Radio that the assailant had been “neutralised”.
