Israel's national rescue service says a gunman killed five people and wounded three others in a shooting near a synagogue in east Jerusalem
The killings took place a day after Israeli troops killed nine Palestinians in the deadliest West Bank raid in years.THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP's earlier story follows below.
Thursday's raid in the flashpoint Jenin refugee camp descended into a gunbattle that killed at least nine Palestinians, while clashes elsewhere left a 10th dead. Gaza militants then fired rockets and Israel carried out airstrikes overnight - but the exchange was limited, following a familiar pattern that allows both sides to respond without leading to a major flare-up.
Israel's defense minister, meanwhile, instructed the military to prepare for new strikes in the Gaza Strip "if necessary" - also appearing to leave open the possibility that violence would subside. The Palestinians' rockets were fired toward southern Israel, while Israel's nonlethal airstrikes were on targets in Gaza, such as training camps and an underground rocket-manufacturing site.
"In spirit and blood, we will sacrifice you," Muslim worshippers shouted. "Greetings Jenin, greetings Gaza." Nearly 150 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank and east Jerusalem last year, making 2022 the deadliest in those territories since 2004, according to leading Israeli rights group B'Tselem. Last year, 30 people were killed in Palestinian attacks against Israelis.Israel says most of the dead were militants. But youths protesting the incursions and others not involved in the confrontations also have been killed.
