Four people have been killed and at least 6 wounded when two assailants attacked worshipers with knives and axes in synagogue in North Jerusalem in the morning.
Israeli police say both attackers were shot dead on the spot by officers. Spokeswoman Luba Samri described the incident as a "terrorist attack," according to AP.
Israel's ambulance service spokesman Magen David Adom told Army Radio that medics were so far treating three people, one critically injured, while more wounded remained on the scene.
The attacked synagogue is situated on Agasi Street, in the ultra-Orthodox Had Nof neighborhood of Jerusalem.
"We were praying in synagogue in the morning, we heard gunshots from downstairs… one shot, two shots and then a flurry of shots," a witness who was inside the building told AP.
The attackers were reportedly Palestinian menfrom east Jerusalem.
Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have been running particularly high over the last two weeks after the EU's newly-appointed foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, called for the establishment of a Palestinian state in the next few years.
