Jerusalem synagogue shooting: At least 7 dead after gunman opens fire, Israeli police say

 

A shooting near a synagogue in Jerusalem Friday evening has left at least seven people dead and several wounded, including at least one child.

 

The suspect started shooting when he entered the synagogue and was killed by police, according to Israeli authorities.

 

The shooter, reportedly a Palestinian from East Jerusalem, tried to escape in his car but was chased by police as he tried to escape on foot and was shot. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was updated on the attack and visited the scene shortly afterwards. He is expected to convene a special security situation assessment this evening.

 

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters during Friday's briefing that the White House recognized "the very real security challenges facing Israel and the Palestinian Authority. That is something that we recognize and condemn terrorist groups planning and carrying out attacks against innocent civilians. And that is something that you will continue to hear from us, and we will be consistent on that.

 

"We also regret the loss of innocent lives and … and injuries to civilians and are deeply concerned by the escalating cycle of violence in the West Bank over the past few days. Our administration has been closely engaged with the Israeli and Palestinian Authority on the recent violence and to urge de-escalation."

 

Israel's emergency medical services (MDA) said a 70-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man are in critical condition, a 20-year-old man is in serious condition, a 14-year-old boy is in moderate to severe condition and a 60-year-old woman is in moderate condition.

 

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides condemned the attack in a tweet, calling the terror attack an "horrific act of violence."

52-foot-long Book of the Dead papyrus from ancient Egypt discovered at Saqqara

 

Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 52-foot-long (16 meters) papyrus containing sections from the Book of the Dead. The more than 2,000-year-old document was found within a coffin in a tomb south of the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara.

 

There are many texts from The Book of the Dead, and analysis of the new finding may shed light on ancient Egyptian funerary traditions. Conservation work is already complete, and the papyrus is being translated into Arabic, according to a translated statement(opens in new tab), which was released in conjunction with an event marking Egyptian Archaeologists Day on Jan. 14.

 

This is the first full papyrus to be uncovered at Saqqara in more than 100 years, Mostafa Waziry, secretary general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said, according to the statement.
