Four people have been killed and eight injured in a terrorist attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem. A British citizen is also among the victims. Two Palestinian cousins armed themselves with a meat cleaver and guns before slaughtering the worshippers. The suspects were shot by Israeli police, and their family members are being arrested by Israeli police now, while Gaza celebrates their “victory”.
All four of the men killed were rabbis.
The names of the four victims of the terror attack at a synagogue in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Har Nof were released on Tuesday.
Rabbi Aryeh Kopinsky, 43, rabbi Avraham Shmuel Goldberg, 58, and rabbi Calman Levine, 50, all from the Har Nof neighborhood were identified along with Rabbi Moshe Twersky, 59, as victims murdered by two Palestinian terrorists.
Funerals for the four were be held Tuesday afternoon.
… Eight other people were wounded in the attack, including two police officers.
According to police, the two suspected Palestinian terrorists, armed with a gun and axes, attacked worshipers after entering the “Kehilat Yaakov” synagogue on Agasi Street in the capital’s Har Nof neighborhood. Two police officers quickly arrived to the scene and exchanged fire with the suspects, killing them.
The murderers have been identified as Ghassan and Oday Abu Jamal, and they were members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, although the group has not said whether they are responsible for the attack or not yet. Hamas, meanwhile, has praised the attack, unsurprisingly.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that Israel will respond harshly, calling it “cruel murder of Jews who came to pray and were killed by despicable murderers.” Secretary of State John Kerry denounced the attack, but President Obama has not made a statement yet — no surprise there, and knowing Obama, not only will he likely do nothing, but he’ll make sure to defend Islam in front of the world as well. The man has priorities after all.
Footage from the scene shows chaos as authorities rush to treat the wounded and secure the neighborhood.
We will update as more details become available.
Appalled By The World says: Obozo will no doubt claim that the “peaceful ones” are more a victim than those evil Nazi Jews who, after all, treat them so poorly.
Blah.
Blah.
Blah.
I hope Bibi breaks some more of those losers’ bones because the iron fist is the only thing they understand and respect.
J.Marie says: Bibi should just go ahead and bulldoze Palestine.
Appalled By The World says: Nah-just annex it. The palestinians would end up living better in a greater Israel than in any Arab country if they would just behave themselves.
GWB says: And many of them would quickly learn to behave if Hamas was no longer around to filter their information and incentivize their ‘martyrdom’. Plenty of Israeli ‘Arabs’ do. Of course, Hamas would disappear overnight – even leaving the Palestinian-occupied territories as they are – if folks in the outside world would stop funding them.
