Five Israelis were killed and 13 others injured in an attack on a synagogue in occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday morning.
Israeli media reported that two Palestinians used guns and knives to attack the Israeli settlers in a synagogue in Har Nof neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem.
The Israeli army radio said that both attackers were gunned down.
Early on Tuesday, two Palestinian men, reportedly armed with axes and handguns, entered the synagogue in the Har Nof neighborhood of West al-Quds, killing at least four Israelis and injuring several others including two police officers.
Gaza-based Palestinian resistance movements Hamas and Islamic Jihad hailed the attack, saying it was a response to the recent hanging of Hassan Yousef Rammouni, a young Palestinian bus driver, by Israeli settlers.
Rammouni, 32, was driving back home from work on November 16 when he was abducted and then hanged by Israelis in his bus in the Ras al-Amud neighborhood of East al-Quds.
