Rabbis killed at synagogue: Religious tinge of Jerusalem crisis deepens

(The Christian Science Monitor) Two Palestinian assailants entered a synagogue in the quiet West Jerusalem neighborhood of Har Nof Tuesday morning and killed at least four worshipers in the single deadliest attack on Jews since tensions in this city began escalating this summer.

The dead were all rabbis.

Such an attack poses a challenge not only to Israeli security forces, but also to leaders on both sides as political tensions take on an increasingly religious tinge.
