A shooting at a Jerusalem synagogue Friday has left at least seven dead and almost a dozen injured. The attack marks another day of violence in the region after a deadly Israeli raid Thursday. The country's Magen David Adom emergency services said police killed the gunman at the crime scene, according to Reuters, Associated Press, and CNN. The shooting occurred during worship services on International Holocaust Remembrance Day and comes a day after Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians and injured others in Jenin, according to reporting from CNN. The surge in violence gripped the region before a planned trip by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken at the end of this month.
The first explosion occurred near a bus stop on the edge of the city, where commuters usually crowd waiting for buses. There has been an uptick in recent weeks in Palestinian attacks. The twin blasts occurred amid the buzz of rush hour traffic and police closed part of a main highway leading out of the city, where the fist explosion went off. The Israeli army says most of the Palestinians killed have been militants. At least five more Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks in recent weeks.
The first explosion occurred at a bus station near the entrance to Jerusalem at 7:06 a.m., injuring at least 11 people, including the teen who later died, the spokesperson said. After a second explosion almost half an hour later at the city’s Ramot junction, at 7:30 a.m., three people were evacuated with minor injuries, police added.

Two paramedics from Magen David Adom, Israel’s Red Cross affiliate, said when they arrived at the bus station they found two seriously injured people lying on the ground. “We were at the MDA station by the entrance to the city when we heard a large explosion,” they said.
Netanyahu s-a deplasat vineri în oraşul Meron, unde s-a întâlnit cu poliţişti şi alte servicii implicate în eforturile de salvare. ”Catastrofa de la Muntele Meron este una dintre cele mai grave care au lovit statul Israel”, a scris el pe Twitter, exprimându-şi simpatia faţă de familiile victimelor şi urându-le însănătoşire grabnică răniţilor. Magen David Adom, echivalentul Crucii Roşii în Israel, a preluat 150 de răniţi în cursul nopţii, dintre care şase în stare critică. Lag Baomer este o sărbătoare plină de bucurie, ce marchează amintirea încheierii unei epidemii devastatoare în rândul elevilor unei şcoli talmudice din acea vreme. 'Scene teribile la sărbătoarea de Lag Baomer în Israel', a scris şi premierul britanic Boris Johnson pe Twitter.

O busculadă de proporţii în timpul unui pelerinaj la care participau mii de evrei în nordul Israelului s-a soldat cu cel puțin 44 de morți, conform datelor furnizate de serviciile de salvare în noaptea de joi spre vineri, transmite AFP, citat de agerpres.ro. În mijlocul nopţii, luminile intermitente ale zecilor de ambulanţe luminau întunericul în apropierea Muntelui Meron, scena tragediei. Echipele de salvare au menţionat iniţial prăbuşirea unor gradene ca fiind cauza rănirii unor participanţi la pelerinaj. Ulterior, au comunicat că a fost vorba despre o busculadă de proporţii. Zeci de mii de persoane participau în noaptea de joi spre vineri la acest pelerinaj anual, cel mai mare eveniment public din Israel de la începutul pandemiei de COVID-19.
