Israeli immigrant killed by Hamas gunman in Jerusalem; group hails 'heroic operation'

A Hamas gunman shot five people in Jerusalem’s Old City on Sunday, killing one and injuring four others before Israeli police fatally shot him. 

The attack also wounded two Israeli police officers and another civilian, Reuters reported.

The shooting occurred near one of the gates to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a controversial holy site that the Jewish people know as the Temple Mount and Muslims call the Noble Sanctuary.
