Four families who lived in in the building, including that of the attacker AbdelRahman al-Shaludi, had to evacuate, said Al Jazeera’s Dalia Haquta, reporting from the West Bank.<\/span>
The whole neighbourhood was closed off by the Israeli police, she said.<\/span><\/p>\n
The Israeli troops were headed to the area to demolish the homes of the Abu Jamal cousins who carried out the synagogue attack. Four rabbis – three with Israeli-US citizenship and a fourth who was Israeli-British – were killed by Palestinians armed with a gun and knives. A police officer died of his wounds hours after the attack.<\/span><\/p>\n
Al Jazeera’s Imtiaz Tyab, reporting from West Jerusalem, said the confrontation had so far prevented the Israelis from demolishing the homes of Ghassan Abu Jamal and Oday Abu Jamal.<\/span>
“But it is pretty safe to say that it will eventually [be carried out]. All these lends to general unease in the East of Jerusalem which has really been brewing for sometime now,” he added.<\/span>
At least 10 Palestinians were wounded in violence near al-Ram, a Jerusalem neighbourhood that has been cut off from the rest of the city by the Israeli separation wall.<\/span>
Approximately 25 others were wounded in Sur Baher, south of Jerusalem, Palestinian medical sources told Al Jazeera.<\/span>
Violence also flared in the occupied West Bank with Israeli settlers attacking a school in the village of Urif, south of Nablus.<\/span>
Clashes ensued and at least five Palestinians were wounded by rubber-coated steel bullets while others were taken to hospital with tear-gas-related injuries.<\/span>
Israeli settlers also attacked Palestinian cars at bypass roads in the Hebron area, south of the West Bank.<\/span>
Ramallah-based rights group Addameer said 10 members of the Abu Jamal family were arrested on Tuesday morning.<\/span>
They included the parents and wife of Ghassan Muhammad Abu Jamal, and the mother, uncle and brother of Odai Abed Abu Jamal.<\/span><\/p>\n
In the evening, a Palestinian man was stabbed in the leg in northern Jerusalem, according to Israeli police and Palestinian media reports.<\/span>
Fadi Radwan was attacked near al-Musrara and taken to Hadassah Hospital, medics said.<\/span>
Earlier, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, promised a harsh response to the synagogue attack and ordered the demolition of the homes of the the Abu Jamal cousins.<\/span>
Israeli authorities had halted this practice in 2005, after a review committee determined it did not deter future attacks.<\/span>
However, the tactic was renewed following the killing of three Israeli teens near a West Bank settlement this summer.<\/span>
In an attempt to defuse tensions, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas issued a statement condemning the killing of civilians on all sides. He also demanded a halt to “raids into Al-Aqsa [mosque]” and “settler provocation”.<\/span>
Palestinians are angry at what they say are repeated attempts by right-wing Jews to extend their influence at the Muslim-run compound housing the mosque.<\/span><\/p>\n
