International Desk: At least 7 people have been killed after a gunman opened fire at a synagogue in an Israeli settlement in occupied East Jerusalem before being fatally shot and killed by police, officials said.

The incident occured in the city's Neve Yaakov neighbourhood. It was the deadliest attack on Israelis in years and raised the likelihood of more bloodshed as an escalation of violence following a deadly Israeli military raid that killed 9 Palestinians in the West Bank a day earlier.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility. The emergency response agency reported a total of 10 gunshot victims, including a 70-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy.

“I heard a lot of bullets,” Matanel Almalem, an 18-year-old student who lives near the synagogue, told the AFP news agency.

An earlier police statement said there was a “terror attack in a synagogue in Jerusalem” and that “the shooting terrorist was killed”. Police later said the suspect was a 21-year-old resident of East Jerusalem.

The attack comes a day after a deadly Israeli raid in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Nine Palestinians were killed, including an elderly woman, after dozens of Israeli soldiers attacked a house the army said contained suspected fighters, leading to several hours of intense confrontations.

A 22-year-old Palestinian man also was shot by Israeli forces in the town of al-Ram, north of Jerusalem, on Thursday.
