Israel’s rescue service said that a gunman opened fire in east Jerusalem on Saturday, wounding at least two people.

The paramedics did not provide any further information. The shooting attack occurred less than a day after the deadliest attack in the city since 2008. On Friday, a Palestinian gunman killed at least seven people outside an east Jerusalem synagogue.

The attacks mark the latest major escalation in one of the bloodiest months in Israel and the occupied West Bank in years.
