Palestinian shoots near a synagogue: eight dead in Jerusalem

Fear in Jerusalem, where 8 people were killed and another 10 wounded by gunfire in a shooting that took place in the neighborhood of Neve Yaakov, near a synagogue . The bomber, "neutralized" by the police, is a Palestinian living in the eastern part of the city .

The attack allegedly took place in two phases: first in front of the place of prayer, then at a point a little further on. The video of the attack, meanwhile, has already been shared on social media.

" A heroic operation that demonstrates the birth of a united front that includes Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza ": this is how the Islamic Jihad spokesman commented. According to Hamas, however, it would be " revenge for the dead in Jenin ", referring to the 9 Palestinians who died yesterday in the town during some clashes with the Israeli army.
