Palestinians Kill 8 at Jewish School

Peace? Hamas/Fatah does not want peace with Israel and never will. Palestinian terrorists kill 8 and injured dozens more in attack at Jewish School.


JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Two Palestinian gunmen opened fire in a Jewish religious school in Jerusalem on Thursday, killing at least eight people and wounding 20, the Israeli emergency service Zaka said.

The two gunmen were also killed in the assault at the Merkaz Harav seminary, Zaka said. Israeli television said there may have been a third attacker, who escaped.

Some 50 ambulances raced to the area and police held back worried parents searching for children who had been attending a study session marking the start of Adar, the most festive month of the Jewish calendar.

Witnesses said the two gunmen entered the crowded compound of the seminary and fired automatic weapons at students. Zaka put the Israeli death toll at eight, with some 20 people wounded.

"There was a lot of gunfire and hysteria," a woman who lives across the street from the school told the radio.

"I saw police and ordinary civilians, who were armed, trading gunfire with the gunmen," another witness said. "The gunbattle went on for about 10 minutes."

In the Gaza Strip, gunmen fired in the air to celebrate the attack, three days after Israel ended a military offensive in the Hamas-run territory that killed more than 120 Palestinians, about half of whom were identified as civilians.

Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas official, said the group "blesses the heroic operation in Jerusalem, which was a natural reaction to the Zionist massacre".

A loudspeaker in Gaza City blared the message: "This is God's vengeance."
