Two persons armed with a gun and axes burst into a Jerusalem synagogue earlier today and killed four Israelis before being shot dead, in the deadliest attack in the city in years.
The attack came as months of unrest gripped the city´s annexed Arab eastern sector. But none was as serious as today’s assault on the synagogue in an ultra-Orthodox neighbourhood on the city´s western outskirts as worshipers gathered for the morning prayers.
Six other people were wounded, among them two policemen, before the two attackers were finally shot dead according to police sources.
