Four killed in Jerusalem synagogue attack

 
Tensions have been rising in Jerusalem recently
Two men armed with a pistol, axes and knives carried out the attack in the Har Nof neighbourhood during prayers.
The attackers - Palestinians from East Jerusalem - were shot dead, police say.
Jerusalem has seen tensions between Israelis and Palestinians soar, with a string of deadly attacks and clashes over a disputed holy site.
Israeli media reports suggest there was a shoot-out between the attackers and police who arrived on the scene.
The attacks happened at a religious seminary site on Harav Shimon Agassi Street.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the area had been sealed off and the injured - six worshippers and two policemen - were being treated in Jerusalem hospitals. Four are said to be in a serious condition.
The area is being searched amid reports that a third attacker might have escaped.
Tensions in the city have risen in recent weeks, with two deadly attacks by Palestinian militants on pedestrians in the city and announcements by Israel of plans to build more settler homes in East Jerusalem.
A prominent rabbi and leading campaigner was shot and wounded last month by a Palestinian in Jerusalem at a key religious compound in the city.
The compound - known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as al-Haram al-Sharif - is the holiest site in Judaism, while the al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest site in Islam.
Orthodox Jewish campaigners in Israel are challenging the long-standing ban on Jews praying at the compound.
Palestinians want East Jerusalem, occupied by Israel since 1967, as the capital of a future state.
Israel and the Palestinian Authority have blamed each other for the recent unrest in the city.
