(JTA) —
The attack took place Friday evening as worshipers left Shabbat services. Israeli media reported that one of the shooters was “neutralized,” a euphemism for killed, but that there was a search in the area for two other attackers. Helicopters were flying over the area.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. Hamas and Islamic Jihad did not take responsibility but praised the attack as retaliation for the raid in Jenin, in which at least 10 Palestinians were killed in an operation that Israel said was aimed at preventing a planned major attack. The dead attacker was a resident of eastern Jerusalem who was not Israeli, according to police.
