Police called the attack on an East Jerusalem synagogue a 'terrorist incident'. There was no initial claim of responsibility for the attack, which took place on International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The Magen David Adom emergency response service reported a total of 10 gunshot victims, including a 70-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy.

"I saw the terrorist arriving with his car. He stopped in the middle of the junction, and shot from his car," continuing to shoot as people came to the scene to help, he said. Israel's extreme-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir attended the scene shortly after, an AFP photographer reported.

"Our commitment to Israel's security remains ironclad, and we are in direct touch with our Israeli partners," State Department spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters."To massacre civilians at prayer in a synagogue is an act of supreme cowardice and savagery and invokes the darkest moments of antisemitic history and Palestinian terrorism," it said in a statement.

Jerusalem synagogue shooting leaves seven dead, including gunman, in what Israeli police say is a terror attackPolice are treating the shooting, which comes after a deadly raid by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank that killed nine Palestinians, as a terror attack. Yeah. It was. But was was Israel’s attack on the West Bank? Chopped liver ? Just imagine the number of casualties if IDF didn’t try and prevent this terror attack. Right now it’s at eight innocent people… it would have been hundreds if not for action of IDF few days ago 'one of the deadliest attacks on Israelis in years' Please ABC enlighten us on what you would call the CONSTANT DAILY attacks on the Palestinian ppl!

Monument marking international Holocaust Remembrance Day in NYCA monument to commemorate six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust has been inaugurated at the UN headquarters in New York City marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day. At eight metres long and two metres high, the 'Book of Names' artwork lists the names of 4.8 million victims of the Holocaust in alphabetical order. The blank pages at the end of the book symbolize more than one million anonymous victims. Jews weren't the only victims on the Holocaust. Gays, Political Dissidents, Gypsy & the disabled were among other also killed. The narrative that it was only the Jewish were victims is false. Anyone deemed ‘not aryan (pure) were victims too. The UnitedNations should be even-handed if it claims to represent humanity as a whole. The Jews too find this convenient & don’t correct the error. It’s selfish.
