At least seven people were killed and three were injured in a shooting near a synagogue in Jerusalem on Friday night, according to Israeli police. The alleged shooter was killed by police forces, and the Palestinian Authority has since decided to halt security coordination with Israel. Leaders around the world, including United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, have condemned the attack and called for an immediate end to the violence, urging both sides to take steps to de-escalate the situation and to work towards a peaceful resolution.

On Friday night, five people were killed and several injured in a shooting in the Jewish neighborhood of Neve Yaakov in east Jerusalem. This followed a deadly raid by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, which killed nine Palestinians and a tenth later north of Jerusalem. The incident has sparked international condemnation and raised tensions in the region, with the United Nations calling for an independent investigation and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemning the attack and promising to bring the perpetrators to justice.
