Seven people have been killed and four injured in a shooting outside a synagogue in Jerusalem, Israeli officials have said.
Israeli rescue service Mada said the wounded included a 70-year-old woman in critical condition and a 14-year-old boy in serious condition.
Palestinians had earlier marched in anger as they buried the last of the people killed by Israel, but the likelihood of a major conflagration had appeared to ebb after the deadliest Israeli raid in two decades.Scuffles between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters erupted after the funeral for a 22-year-old Palestinian north of Jerusalem and elsewhere in the occupied West Bank, but calm prevailed in the contested capital and in the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Gaza militants then fired rockets and Israel carried out air strikes overnight, but the exchange was limited, following a familiar pattern that allows both sides to respond without leading to a major flare-up. In the streets of the town called al-Ram, masked Palestinians threw stones and set off fireworks at Israeli police, who responded with tear gas.
