    According to initial reports, two Palestinians, apparently armed with a pistol and axes, entered the Kehillat Bnei Zion synagogue and yeshiva in the ultra-Orthodox Har Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem and began attacking worshipers, stabbing them before opening fire. The worshipers were in the midst of the morning prayers, wearing prayer shawls and phylacteries.
    Police confirm that four people were killed in the terror attack and eight wounded, four of them seriously.
    Police who arrived at the scene shortly after the attack began shot and killed the two terrorists.
