Israeli forces carry out PM Benjamin Netanyahu's threat

Israeli forces have carried out the threat of their Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to settle scores with the Palestinian terrorists who murdered five people in a Jerusalem synagogue yesterday.

A British-born Rabbi was among four people killed in an attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem.

Avraham Shmuel Goldberg, 68, was killed when militants stormed the building and attacked worshippers with knives, axes and guns before being shot by police.

Defiant synagogue worshippers return to scene of killings

Worshippers have today returned to a Jerusalem synagogue where four rabbis and a policeman were killed by armed raiders yesterday, vowing they would not be intimidated.

The bloodstains have been washed away and four memorial candles lit, with officers now stationed outside the Kehillat Bnei Torah synagogue amid fears of growing violence.

Among the dead was British-Israeli rabbi Avraham Shmuel Goldberg, originally from Liverpool. He and three American rabbis were killed during morning prayers by two Palestinian militants, while the policeman died later from his injuries.

One member of the synagogue, Avraham Burkei, said the congregation would not be cowed into changing their routine.

It's a little scary, but we're going to have to go on with our lives.

We're staying here, we're not moving anywhere. This terrorist attack is not going to change anything.

– Avraham Burkei, synagogue member
