The killing of 8 Jewish worshipers by a Palestinian gunman on Friday triggered a wave of vile ‘celebrations’ across Gaza and the West Bank.
“Celebrations were held in the West Bank cities throughout the night to hail the Jerusalem terrorist attack. Palestinians praised the massacre with fireworks and sweets that were being distributed on the streets,” the Israeli TV channel i24news reported Saturday.
On Friday evening, a Palestinian terrorist gunned down 8 Jews and wounded several others as they were leaving a synagogue in an East Jerusalem neighborhood.
“After entering and attacking the people in the synagogue, the shooter reportedly started chasing after people who were trying to escape,” the Jerusalem Post reported. “He then attempted to flee the scene by car and fired in the direction of Israel Police officers. The officers fired back and killed him.”
The slain terrorist was identified as Fadi Ayash, a 21-year-old Palestinian from an Arab neighborhood in East Jerusalem.
The Times of Israel reported the disgusting display:

Israeli authorities revealed the identify of the fourth victim of the Jerusalem synagogues shooting: 14-year-old East Jerusalem resident, Asher Natan.
The fourth victim of the shooting attack last night in Jerusalem’s Neve Ya’akov neighborhood is named as 14-year-old Asher Natan,” The Times of Israel disclosed. “Earlier, the names of three of the victims were published. Eli, 48, and Natali Mizrahi, 45, a couple that had gone outside to try and help those who had been shot, and Rafael Ben Eliyahu, 56.”
Two of the victims of the synagogue shooting were identified as a Jewish couple who rushed to the scene to help the wounded.
“A couple were rushed to save the wounded in the shooting attack in Jerusalem were named Saturday as two of the seven Israeli victims killed by the Palestinian gunman,” the Israeli news website Ynet reported. “Eli and Natali Mizrachi, who wed just two years ago, left their homes to help those who were hurt after the attack, and were shot by the terrorist who was still on the loose.”
Meanwhile, the wave of terror continues to rage against innocent Israelis. On Saturday morning, a 13-year-old Palestinian terrorist armed with a handgun severely wounded a father and son, aged 45 and 22 respectively, in Jerusalem’s City of David.
“An Israeli father and son were shot and wounded in a terror attack outside Jerusalem’s Old City, police and medics said Saturday morning,” The Times of Israel reported. “Police said the attacker was a 13-year-old Palestinian from East Jerusalem. He was shot and wounded by armed civilians.”
Face with new wave of Palestinian terror, the Israeli government is considering a new law aimed at deporting the family members of convicted terrorists. Palestinian families often play a key role in indoctrinating and raising boy to aspire for martyrdom and are handsomely rewarded by the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority with salaries and big financial payments under its “pay-for-slay” scheme.
“Sealing the terrorists’ houses and arrest of family members is also among the possible steps, “the TV channel i24news reported. “A political source on Saturday detailed the steps that are expected to be taken by Israel’s government following two terrorist attacks that rocked Jerusalem the last 24 hours.”
