Two Palestinians stormed a Jerusalem synagogue on Tuesday, attacking worshippers praying inside with knives, axes and guns, and killing four. Police killed the attackers in a shootout. Pictures posted online showed a bloodied meat cleaver at the scene of the attack, along with heavily blood-stained floors and bodies covered in shawls. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will 'respond harshly' to the attack, which he described as the 'cruel murder of Jews who came to pray and were killed by despicable murderers'.
