Barbaric rejoicing over dead Jews

One of the worst attacks in years is a terrorist attack in Jerusalem on Friday evening. Israeli police said seven people had been killed, five men and two women. There are also other injuries - including a 15-year-old boy.

Israel's Foreign Ministry had previously spoken of eight dead and ten injured. However, it may have initially counted the shot assassin (21) among the victims.

According to the Times of Israel, the man from East Jerusalem opened fire near a synagogue at around 8:15 p.m. He caused a bloodbath, then fled toward a nearby Palestinian neighborhood. On the run, he met police officers - they shot the terrorist.

According to Israeli authorities, the terrorist fled the scene in this car.

"I heard a lot of shots," said student Matanel Almalem (18), who lives near the synagogue. After the attack, police examined a white car that authorities said belonged to the attacker. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (73) and Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir (46) visited the crime scene.

Sweets were also distributed. Similar jubilation celebrations were reported from the West Bank city of Ramallah. Fireworks were set off in some places, and people rose in joy.

Israel's Defense Minister Jo'aw Galant (64) promised after the attack: "The defense apparatus under my leadership will take tough and uncompromising action against terrorism and find everyone involved in the attack." US President Joe Biden (80) instructed his team to assist Israel. The United Nations strongly condemned the attack. "It is particularly despicable that the attack took place in a religious place and on the very day we commemorate the Holocaust," said UN Secretary-General António Guterres (73) on Friday (local time) in New York, according to the statement. "There is never an excuse for acts of terrorism. They must be clearly condemned and rejected by everyone."

The USA also sharply condemned the attack and pledged its support. US President Joe Biden offered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "all reasonable means of support" in a telephone conversation, the White House said on Friday.

Situation tense for days
