At least seven Israelis were killed and several others were wounded in a shooting attack near a synagogue in Al-Quds (Jerusalem), Zionist medical sources reported Friday.

The shooter, a resident of Shaafat, opened fire at Zionists leaving the synagogue on Friday night, and was then killed by Israeli forces after attempting to escape in a car.

The Zionist media mentioned that the Palestinian shooter is called Kheiri Alqam, adding that he was driving a car before carrying out the operation which lasted 20 minutes.

Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reported to be receiving updates from the scene and is set to hold a situational assessment later this evening.
