Four Israelis killed in Jerusalem synagogue attack
22
JERUSALEM: Israeli police say four worshippers have been killed in an attack on a Jerusalem synagogue.
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri says six people, including two policemen, were wounded in the assault, which was described as a “terrorist attack".
Samri says two assailants entered the synagogue on Tuesday with knives, axes and guns and attacked worshippers.
“Two terrorists, apparently from east Jerusalem, entered a yeshiva (Jewish seminary) in Har Nof and attacked worshippers with axes and a pistol,” she said.
“The two terrorists were neutralised,” she added, using a police euphemism for killed.
The violence comes amid high tensions in the city, with a wave of attacks by Palestinians on Israelis killing at least six people in recent weeks.

It is wrong in so many ways. Places of worship are sacred irrespective of religion. May departed rest in peace.

it will only infuriate the Israelis further which in-turn will lead to 10 times more Palestinian deaths

The two state solution is dead thanks to Israel who never wanted such a state to begin with. Only a one state Apartheid solution remains and is in full effect. Zionists greatest friend across the Atlantic is in decline and historians will agree that Israel's fate (in the heartland of Islam) was doomed from the very beginning just as the Crusader state 800 years ago.

Sad! Israelis are very good people. Terrorist attacks are a threat to both Israel and India.

Inspite of surrounded by so many terrorist supporting nations, Israel stands tall as a secular democratic country! Kudos to Israel. All countries which value human life have been and will continue to support Israel.

@Indian Christian
Sad! An Indian Christian thinks Israelis are good! Perhaps because they have occupied Palestine, just like the Good Indians have occupied Kashmir!

This is bound to happen when you suppress a group of people based on their religious background, humiliate then daily, grab their land and property.
Did Israel really expect anything different?

Six Arab countries could not defeat Israel. Now the cowardly Hamas is attacking innocent civilians.

Killing innocent people is not going to resolve any issues & is going further going to complicate it.

I just can't see an end - as long as there is injustice in this world - particularly in the Middle-East, these types of incidents will continue to occur. The leaders should realize guns will not end violence - but escalate it. No one wants to die, but when living becomes intolerable, death becomes a viable option. Create an atmosphere, where people love life. You give people no reason to live for and continue depriving them of everything and treat them like they are worthless, then be prepared to see these types of responses.
